Indicator bulb replaced on your car. Quick fix to get working signals back - essential for safe driving and passing MOT.
### Failed Indicator Needs Sorting
Broken indicator is an MOT failure and makes you a liability on the road - nobody knows when you're turning. Some cars make bulb access easy, others require removing wheel arch liners. If you've **tried and given up** or just can't be arsed, I'll sort it.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Fast-flashing indicator usually means a blown bulb on that side. Solid light that doesn't flash might be the relay or wiring.

Good to Know
> 🔧 **Getting MOT soon?** I can check all your bulbs while doing the indicator - side lights, brake lights, reverse lights. Better to know now than fail on the day. **Fast flashing:** If your indicator flashes rapidly, it usually means a bulb's blown on that side (or you've fitted LED bulbs without load resistors). Standard bulb replacement sorts it. **No flashing at all:** Might be the indicator relay, fuse, or wiring rather than the bulb. I'll diagnose it when I'm there. **Modern LED indicators:** Some newer cars have LED units that can't have bulbs changed - whole assembly replacement. Usually dealer job. I'll tell you if that's the case.
Frequently Asked Questions about Indicator bulb replacement in Exmouth
Can I drive with a broken indicator?
Legally, no - it's an MOT failure and police can pull you over for it. Practically, people do but it's risky - other drivers can't see your intentions. Best just get it sorted.
How do I know which bulb I need?
Send me your reg or car model and I'll look it up. Indicators are usually 382, 380, or 581 bulbs, but there's loads of variants. I'll source the right one.
Is it just the bulb or could it be the relay?
If one indicator doesn't work, it's the bulb. If both sides flash really fast or don't flash at all, might be the relay or a wiring issue. I'll check when I'm there.
Can you do side repeater indicators in the wing mirror?
Yes - those are usually LED units now though, so often it's replacing the whole assembly rather than just a bulb. I'll let you know what's needed.
Should I replace both sides?
Not essential like headlights - indicators don't need matched brightness. But if one's gone, the other might not be far behind. Your call.
