I am put my baby back on the road again but it needs an MOT but I have fitted the tiga rc211 body kit and it has 10 watt indicator bulbs fitted and now my indicators flash to fast, I have spoken to my MOT tester and he says that the indicator speed is part of the test.
What's the best way to cure this problem ?

Re: Indicator problem
you need a resistor or a new relay to slow the flashing down.
it is a common issue..

Re: Indicator problem
Thanks for your input which I have already researched before putting this post up and was hoping that someone could help answer my query as I have exhausted all avenues available including google, this post was a last resort because all led resistors mention ballast and tech stuff that i know nothing about as I'm still running bulbs ( just a lower wattage 10 instead of 21 ) I would expect them to need more power than LEDs so my question is is there a specific resistor for the job or are they all the same and it doesn't matter that I'm still running bulbs.

Re: Indicator problem
it is just because you are at 10w instead of 21.. simple as that, so you need to address that issue.

Re: Indicator problem
The same principal applies for your low wattage bulbs as for LEDs. 21W bulb has resistance of approximately 10 ohms, 10W bulb resistance approximately 20 ohms. You need to make the 20 ohm 10W bulb look like 21W 10 ohm bulb.
Suggest you add a 20 ohm resistor across the terminals of each 10W bulb.

It's the ELFR-1 not the ELFR-1 QD...
