either way is fine? Just be easier if you can disconnect it

probably easier to just keep the old indicator bulb wired in aswell, just hide it somewhere.
failing taht, you need to put in high wattage resistors (or anything that can disipate the same amount of power relay) Its the wattage you need to be looking at. 2x 10w resistors at some low ohm rating (not important what ohm) will do the trick, but you need two for each indicator to mimmick the presence of a 20-ish watt bulb.

will leaving the old bulbs in not cause trouble?
it will be pulling more than 21w then

Tried wiring them in and keeping the standard bulbs too.
Worked fine. Need to paint my morrettes now
