indicators side light wiring

[so1o]

Hi,

I got some of these but when I wired up the sidelights i noticed the bulbs got very very hot very very quickly so i took them back of again. Is there a way to fit these?

I have single headlights with sidelights in them, i cut into there and joined them up to the indicator sidelights, not exactly genius so maybe this is why they got so hot? Is there a better way?

what choo talkin bout willis?

i am sorry but i dont get the jist of your thread. are you trying to wire side markers to your side light or indicators to your side lights or indicators with side lights built in to you O.E side lights?

check your voltage going into the new sidelights. you may find it's too high and running the bulb too bright and hot.

i havnt checked for the temperature but mine work alrite.

I cut my old indicator plug off, joined this to the indicator sidelight. connected this to the headlight sidelight plug.

lmao. Its the indicators with built in side lights. Blue i did exactly the same way as you, runs very hot very quickly like Dizzy said. I will do a current test. I sort of remember if you do a cut and join theres more power going through because of less resistance, something along the lines of that, i maybe totally wrong.

Solo knows what im on about enit bruv

what ill do is put some resistors in-line the wires sometime and see how it goes. Or uprate the bulbs.  Hope i havnt melted my new big bumper indicators

Device,
were on about the crystal big bumper indicators with built in sidelights. when you have normal lights running, the indicator sidelights come on with them.
