You need a resister of appropriate value in-line, I suspect.
I don't know the value, you could google it and I'm sure you'd find some useful info, or wait for someone else to come along and google it for you Smile.

Would it not just be a case of changing the relay? I know this has solved problems on a lot of bikes where LED indies have been installed.

Just change the relay, I got one off Ebay for a couple of quid.

I don't like the idea of fitting resistors. Even ballast ones can get quiet hot, fit the wrong ones and bits will start melting.

The benefit of a relay is that it reduces the load on the generator by a good amount, between 80 and 40 watts. 4 - 6 amps. I realise its not continuous but when your lights are on all the time it helps to keep the battery charged up.
