Hello. Fairly recently I had a bulb changed at Halfords, but since then, the indicators only work if I have my headlights on. Please help if you can.

Hello,

It sounds like you installed the wrong bulb can you please recheck the application? Also, upload pictures of the bulbs so I can see what is going on.

Cheers, Ken

Hello Ken. Thank you for replying. The original bulb was changed by Halfords. After speaking to Halfords Head Office about the problem, I was given an appointment to get it checked again. This time they said it's the indicator stick that's faulty. The previous time I went back to Halfords about the problem, they said it must be electrical. I'm just getting fobbed off, as there was no problem before the bulb change. Thank you again for replying, but I wouldn't want to take the bulb out myself to be able to upload a picture. I appreciate the work your excellent website does to help people with no knowledge of car maintenance.
