Trafficator's

Hi all

Having just removed the new? style trafficator's from my bus I found the expected 12v 21w bulbs to have been changed to 24v 21w

This leads me to believe that the original system of series 12v bulbs has been changed to a 24v system where the trafficator's operate, electrically, independently of each other.

Can anyone confirm this or is my bus a 'one off' and if this is now correct does anyone know what was done to change the original system and what has to be done to revert it back to the original system?

Regards

Claire

My bus number (if any): BL49 / RML2330

Hi Charles

I tried out the old style ears with a 24v bulb in them and they worked fine so i'll stick with the current system rather than try and revert it.
