They are LED and a sealed unit it seems. You can unscrew the metal part and pull off the clear acrylic bit but you can't get inside to the end of the wire where the lED bulb sits inside. I want to try and replace the LED because it will be far cheaper than buying a new indicator from Rizoma. Does anyone know if this is possible or have any experience with replacing LEDs?
Or anyone got a spare Rizoma Zero indicator?

I'll shoot you some pics when I get home in 4 hours.

I cut the connector off one of them because I wanted to do some experimenting but I don't have the little black box for them so I never got any further.
I can get a quote on postage if you want.

Those are the same ones!
Let me know a cost for the postage and I'll pay a fair price for the units. Brilliant!
I have ten days to get them fixed and back for the MOT re-test at a reduced fee so if it is possible to get them here in time that would be great.
PM me with your bank details or if you have a Paypal account I can just use the associated email address and send you the funds.
Cheers!

Haha yeah those resistors are impossible to find now too. Apparently they've updated the design and the newer ones are completely different.

Send them fast service, I will reimburse you whatever it it (they are small and light so it shouldn't be too much in the big scheme of things)
I will still ride but technically illegally so want to get the bike MOTd as soon as I can.
Cheers.

I just put a random Bristol postal code in (BS3 4LA), for $60 they can be there Tuesday.

Thanks Aphex. Thanks to all the guys that offer advice and sometimes do the research to help a newbie out (been there) and to all of those that participate and make this forum what it is. What it was really.
Wish KTMGuy was still around, SDNerd also, and some of the other very knowledgeable old timers.
That's why I volunteered to be a mod when they asked.
That's why I check the forum multiple times a day and try to collaborate when I can.
Ride safe,

Sorry I thought I'd sent you details yesterday, I think my internet connection was playing up and it never sent. I've PMd you again.
Let me know how to get payment over to you. (Paypal?)

I may just try drilling out the plug and making a new one because you wouldn't be able to see it when the unit was reassembled. I just need to find out if I can buy a new LED from somewhere like RS to solder onto the wires and see if it works again. It's worth it because they are so expensive new, I think getting on for £45.00 each.

Fitted the indicators. Only one flashed. Started playing about with the 4 units I now have. Turns out that one of my old ones works and one of Apex's works. The other two don't. I don't understand why but by now I don't care as long as I have two legally flashing indicators!
Everything now working as it should again.
MOT passed this morning.

Either way glad you were able to get legal.
