Indicators again

Post by **Sidney'61** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 5:10 pm

Hi, me again.
Does anyone know what is the minimum power that an indicator should be? As I understand that simply turning the sidelights orange might not be enough as they only have 5W bulbs.

Thanks

I think 21 Watt is the going rate - no idea if there's a legal minimum though!

Certainly 5W is asking for trouble....

Hello Andy,

with the conventional flasher relay the rating of the lamps affects the flash rate and are normally 21 watt fron and rear, with 5 watt they would stay on permanently and not flash.
