All back on but will be off again soon as wanna do the foam thing. I pull the bumper up a lil with washers under the top 4 bolts of the bumper.

As I had 1 x red and 1 x blue side lights I got this for a laugh...

Less than $10 delivered... :p

Changed colours a few times then froze on the ice blue which is what I wanted as it goes with my fog lights. Still a bit chintzy but no way as bad as before IMO...

Now my indicator. Before leftwas fine but right flashed 3 times then stopped. Pull indicator down so clockwise I guess and the right hand indicator fine. Left WAS fine, blinked away as it should.

Now right still only does 3 but if I hold the indicator down it does 3 normal flashes then continues fast flashing. Left now does 3 normal and then continues fast flashing.

Was gonna pull off the indicator cluster but does the steering wheel needed to come off to do so anyone? Can see me blowing the air bag messing about lol

Check all your globes first. This is typical of a blown globe.

I think the can bus doesn't like blue lights you have added?
Ahhh you saying the LEDs added could be causing the indicators to fast flash?

I guess trying indicators with lights off would answer that hey. I'll try when I get home...

I'm only guessing? But maybe?

If it was a broken globe, wouldn't it be flashing fast from the moment you turned the indicator on?

In my VE it will flash fast or normal for about 5 seconds then stop if it has a blown globe.

Don't need to remove the wheel.
Top cover on the column clips off, easy access to the indicator/cruise control stalk.
It will slide out, then unplug it.
