Is it that difficult to find a replacement indicator bulb?

Gday all

First off just want to say this forum is badass, so much knowledge and expertise floating around in here!

So yep, just bought my first bike (mc22) about a month ago. Whilst I was riding last week, my indicator casing fell off due to a loose screw and I've just sourced a replacement via ebay. Trouble is, the new indicator has a 12v 10w bulb which when installed, blinks faster than it should. I've figured out it's because the rest of em are 12v 15w bulbs - easy. Nek minnit, i figure out finding one of these bulbs is ridiculously tough!

I haven't been into any stores as yet but browsed th net for hours without any luck. Can anyone recommend a store in Akl or website I can get one from?

First trick to finding the bulb is knowing what you're looking for. What bulb type is it? Wedge? T10 etc etc. Often bulbs will go by several part codes/names, so you have to search under another name to get better results.

Chuck a bunch of normal ones in and a non load sensitive indicator relay.

:brick: Things are just so much easier with the internet. Walking outside can get pretty scary.

I was not surprised to see Gremlin posting first on this subject. :lol:
