Indicator Q
I'm not sure if this is in the right section, so mods please move if needed.
My friend's Honda NSR has just lost a rear indicator so I've replaced it with an aftermarkey one. The standard indicator uses a 12Vx21W bulb and the replacement uses a 12Vx23W bulb so the indicator flashes too quicjly. How do I wire in a resistor to make it flash at the correct rate? Thanks a lot.

Does it flash that far out? I'd had through such a small difference would be neglible.
To wire one in, you put it in parallel with the lower power bulbs and you need to use Ohm's law and definitions for power to calculate the value needed. |

Well the packet says 12vV x 23W bulb, and I got the 12V x 21W from an Nsr parts site.
That's the only reason I could think of it flashing faster. Might be something else but I have no idea. |

Does the NSR have a dual filament bulb? Could be that- if it is, then resistors would work. Hadn't thought of that...

Looks like a bulb to me.
