I have a small problem with the Right Hand Indicator only, it flashes at a faster rate the left hand signal !!

Is a fuse on the way out or is it an earthing problem.

Any help would be appreciated !

Unhappy

I have re-located my front indicators into my Sidelights in the form of Orange bulbs and changed the connectors over, however either of the indicators (Left&Right) flash very fast when signaling.

However Hazzard lights (all four together) flash OK.

Figure that one out ????????????

A resistor will only make things worse .... side light lamps are 5 watt ( or less?), indicator lamps are 21 watt, hence a lower element resistance .
You need more wattage to make them function ... change the lamps to 21 watts!!

Thumbs up

TypeR: undo one bolt at the lower outer edge of the foglight. This also holds the indicator, which is held at the back by a bent bracket: it'll probably fall off into your hand!
Take the bulb holder in one hand, and the indicator in the other, and gently turn the bulbholder, anti-clockwise i think.
The bulb comes out as normal,(twist etc), but do be careful to get the right sort of replacement: the ones on the Scoob are different to some, take the old one with you, to save a wasted journey.

Sorry to hijack your thread Type-R.

I have only re-located the indicators into the side lights and kept the current wiring so why is it like this ??

When the hazzards are on they flash fine it's just when i indicate that they flash fast ??????
