EUREKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................at least I think so. Run a tester over said beooootifull indicators and lo and behold they`re shorting out through their own body. The wires don`t appear to be isolated from the screws that are holding the lamp holders in place, therefore a short circuit occurs. What I don`t understand is how they lit up at all with a dead short!!!!!!!!!!?
?? The solution now needs to be worked on. Watch this space

I like the look of those too. Have you sorted the shorting problem yet?

Haven`t re fitted them yet but I believe I have solved it.basically it was a clear silicone rescue!!!! Just had to isolate the live end of the bulbs from the body which it earths out to. Not been too well for a few weeks and had a couple of days work each week, which knocks me flat to be honest, so nothing done to trike or bike in at least 3 weeks posssibly 4 can`t quite remember.
