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!!! :cry:

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 :smt013 :smt013 :smt013

And relax Blue_!! :D

i had the same problem with 6w halogen indys, i needed 21w halogen and couldnt get them so just flogged the indys on an put OE ones back on.
like you say WHATS THE POINT?

Are all ****e.

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.

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. :(

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

Re: Aftermarket indies
 

but they look so ugly!! if you get quality e marked ones like the cateye ones they should be ok ive never had a problem with a set of aftermarkets.
