[zakboy]

hi all have a small issue after wiring up my rear lights,have to admit eclectics are not my field when i put my indicators on with the rest of my lights the rest of the lights flicker with them to a small degree is this a earthing issue and how can i cure it .many thanks zak

Sounds like a bad earth, to test run an earth from the battery to the bulb holder if the lights don't flicker them that's your problem.

hi TwistedPatience, i have tried this but still the same its only very slight you have to look to see it dont know it its normal to get a tiny bit or not, there new lights so theres no corrosion prob. cheers

I get a little bit of flicker normally when I havn't charged the battery recently, if it's only slight I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I get this if the battery's low, try charging it up?

[spanners]

it sounds like its just  voltage drop is it better when the engine is running at a fast idle speed ?
