The bulb wattage would be wrong. Side/tail lights are 5W stop/indicators are 21W.

Are you sure that you have not got dual filament 5/21W bulbs fitted?

Ah! No that is possible I suppose. Never thought of that. They might well be. Will take a look and let you know ;)

All minors built late '61 to early '64 had sidelights that flashed as indicators as standard, what sort of bulbs were they fitted with?

I have made up a unit just for this purpose. You can easily knock something up yourself by following the wiring diagram and utilising a few spare lamps and switches!! :lol: :wink:
