Bike It Mini Cat Eye Indicators

Looked good on line but not so in the flesh. Access for water as no sealing at all in any area. Had to use silicon. Bulb blew immediately. Lense can be removed to access bulbs, but there's no clearance to actually get at them. Try with thin nosed pliers and the bulbs just collapse. The bulbs are 12V 10W, and not the typical 12V 20W, so you get MOT failure hyperflash unless you change the relay or put resistors in. More expense. This isn't mentioned in the SBS product description and I have made that point to them. They weren't expensive but will be when you have to bin them. Even so they're not fit for purpose.

These indicators are bright and clear when lit, but may not be visible to other drivers from all angles due to their size and design; they are mini! The quality seems fair for the price. There is no rubber seal on the lens, so condensation will probably get behind it. The plastic and fasteners are not of the highest quality, but are much better than the really budget indicators you can get for a couple of quid. I would estimate that these are going to last a few years, maybe longer if they're kept clean and free of corrosion.

I bought these back in September. Although seemed a good price and they looked good sad to see that now the winter has come they don't hold up to it. The nearside indicator stopped working on inspection I found the bulb in good order however the contacts are all majorly corroded and made of junk metal. The opposite side is fine, water must collect in the nearside when lent over on side stand. If you buy these I recommend assembling these with contact grease to keep out some damp.
