Hello all,

I bought smaller (but still very bright) turn signals for my 2018 V7iii Milano and they look great, but I realized that the bulbs inside them are 12V 21W, whereas the stock bulbs are 12V 10W. Will this be an issue? They seem to work great but I don't want to have any problems in the future.

(these are the ones I got. I couldn't afford anything much more expensive):

Thanks!
 
I am sure you will be fine, Some flasher units require 2 X 21W lamps to flash at the correct rate but if yours are working, then no problem. I had to replace the rear indicators on an old Aprilia Caponord and found they wouldn't flash, I discovered the original 21W lamps were now 10W. 21W lamps wouldn't fit in the housing so I had to buy a new electronic flasher. It plugged straight in and worked fine. The only problem is if a bulb does blow you don't get an indication on the dash as it works ok with no load.

Thanks! I think I'll stick with the 21W bulbs. If it ain't broke, no need to fix it!
