sharktech Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 must be the cheapo ones i bought then, some do come with resistors in to stop that from happening.or its due to me having LEDs in the high level light and the tail/stop lightsill buy some of these to see if it stops Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pull mine by the wires and it comes out fine everytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spy Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 A little worried about pulling it from the wires, could end up with no side lights at all I assume though that the bulb holder above the indicators just pulls out from the xasing then with no other clips etc to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
