Right, that's knackered that plan. The 501's are only 5w, the bulbs in currently are 10w. Presume there is a way round this issue is there?

If your using a sierra donor, the front indicators should be around 25w. I had the same problem using 10w indicators from cbs.

So how does everyone fit motorbike front indicators? Am I missing something? I have 21w bulb in the rear and 5w in side repeater and 10w in the bike front indicators?

I got around it by changing to indicators that take 21w bulbs.
