Indicator flashing double speed one side.

Hello. I just tested the indicators yesterday and found that the nearside ones flash at about twice the speed they should. Front and back are both flashing though. Would there be an obvious (to someone not stupid like me) reason for this?

You will find that you need a 21watt bulb in each indicator to operate the flashing relay at the correct speed. :D
