Fitted my crystal indicators earlier, and unfortunately the silver bulbs included are crap, to the point of being downright dangerous, even if you put your hand round to put them in shadow they're not clear, in daylight they're practically invisible :(

All is well though, found a solution in the form of LED bulbs. Ordered two from UltraLEDs. Just wondering about stopping the indicators flashing too fast though. UltraLEDs sell a relay, but it means fitting all four indicators with LED bulbs, and the front ones are expensive. Apparently Hein Gericke sell adapters, but I can't find them on the website, has anyone tried them? Alternatively, I could knock up some at work, but I can't find any details on what resisters I'd need, anyone help?

Thanks :)
 
You can work out the value of the resistors if you know what current and voltage the LED's are meant to run at.
 
Don't know really, they aren't bayonet fitting though, they're 501 wedge push fit ones :)
 
i use them all round to no problems

ultraLED's also have correct load resistors for sale if you look around :p
