    HI all,

    Sorry if this is a stupid question (I imagine it is!)...

    My front right indicator isn't working so I am assuming the bulb has gone...it is an LED indicator so what kind of bulb/size do I need to get? Is it easy enough to change? Just unscrew the cover and swap I guess?

    Sorry again but these things hurt my tiny brain!

    Thanks

    If they are LED it's not very likely to be blown. They're not like a normal bulb and I'm not sure they can be replaced as such. It's more likely to be a wiring issue so check and clean the connector plugs with switch cleaner first. If you have a multimeter you can confirm this for definite.

    Hi Matt, when you get any sort of LED light/bulb it usually comprises of a number of led's, rather than just one. Soif it's not working at all, it'll be a wiring issue almost certainly.

    Did you change the 'indicator relay' when you installed the LED indicators? They won't work correctly with the std. relay.

    Yeh changed it all and they have been working fine for 6 months or so. Now just the right hand one isn't working and only on the front!

    Can you get inside the indicator to see if a wire has come off, under the circuit board which will be visible when you remove the orange light lens?
