Aftermarket indies
 Why sell indicators that blatantly doesn't have the correctly rated bulbs in them??? Bought some aftermarket fairing indicators, now the indies flash too fast!!! Grrrrrrrrr ... yes yes, I know people have fixed it with new relays and appropriate resistors, but that isn't the point!!!  I am going to take the easy way out and get some correctly rated bulbs, but they are BA9 bulbs, so trying to find 21w is hard ... found some little 23w halogen ones that I think will fit, but it is all extra cost and hassle!!! So back to where we came in .... Why sell stuff that blatantly doesn't have the correctly rated bulbs in them??? Oh and even more annoying it said in the spec that they were 23w bulbs ... they are not labeled on the actual bulb though to confirm or deny this ... Grrrrrrrrrrr  And relax Blue_!!

Leave the standard ones on, they flash at the right rate and they can be seen, which marks them out as distinct from all the aftermarket ones.

Re: Aftermarket indies
Im on my second set of aftermarkets - i think theyre motrax or powerbronze possibly, however, both sets have let water in and now this second set does not fully light up. Some of the LEDs are no longer lighting.

Re: Aftermarket indies
as Mr S squid says stick with OE when it comes to indys, they double as crash protectors aswell
