Originally discussing RK05 head position sensor bulb. I have replaced it. The offical part to replace it isn't available. You can open it up and put in a new bulb. I wasn't able to quickly find what bulb I used a number of years ago but if someone really needs to know I can dig further. One of the small ones with wires. It doesn't use bulb with base. LED didn't work. I think sensor is IR.
