Indicators 350 sport

Post by Matt Hale »

Hi all- can anyone confirm what bulbs to use in indicators on 350 sport? I mean what watts. 12V 23W won’t work it seems. I bought some aftermarket that came with that size and nothing happens except the other linked indicator goes faster…should they be 15W?
All advice welcome!!

Yes, something similar. I'll look at mine later, much later, as not home until Friday.

I paid about £3 from a motorcycle shop.

If you are happy to tweak the wiring a bit then electronic relays are much better giving a steady flash rate - rather than the somewhat variable one from the older bimetallic strip type of relay. Also independent of load.

No need to "tweak the wiring a bit", an electronic flasher connects exactly the same. One really only needs a flasher with two pins. I have this one on my Morini and it works perfectly well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MJGC28B

My indicators came from vehicle wiring products and run well. Certainly better than those 23 w mini indicators folk use which cannot be readily seen on the motorway. And lightweight compared to my originals.

Thanks to you all for this advice on my indicators. Life is good with your help! All sorted now- turned out to be a wiring issue mostly...
