Default 21w sidelight bulbs replaced with indicators??
I have changed my Escos to a Wrc front end with morrettes, in doing so I have now made my sidelights the indicators. The problem I now have is the indicators flash to quick. I have tried to find 21w 501 sidelight / indicator bulbs in orange but I can't find any at all. Any ideas lads?

Nobody is ever going to make a 21W 501 ! nevermind in orange.

Can you change the bulb holder and install a proper bulb ?

That or resistors would of worked, I'm guessing you'd be better with 21w lamps for a brighter indication.

No worries just doing a set of head lights at work which require these bulbs.
Glad to have helped.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300635570487

These will work also if you use the red electronic indicator relay from AES.

You can also get 23w halogen bulbs for motorbikes. I used them when I did quads in my mk2 fez, using side repeaters in the front bumper for indicators.
