LED Indicators

I needed to get a new right hand mirror as the one I have appears to have a botch job on it , although holding together,

So for the same price as a single replacement i ordered a set of mirrors with built in LED indicators, I assume i can wire this up along with the standard indicators so both will flash or is this a legal implication having 2 sets going?

Also what about the voltage thing, will i still need to install a resistor and by wiring up both indicators ill that 1/2 the power/brightness from the inicators ?

If you keep the stock indicators and add the mirrors, flash rate will be unaffected. You have the proper load (tungsten bulbs in the original indis) plus a tiny bit more from the LEDs. If you connect them in parallel voltage is going to be the same so no impact on the flash intensity.

Even if you have to remove the front stock indis, it might still work fine. Don't know anything about the legality of the matter, but I wouldn't think its an issue. Cages go around with 20 sets of indicators on them (they don't really use them but that another story).

Hope it helps
