Tell me about my Indicator Bulb Replacement
Indicator bulbs (turn signal bulbs) are essential for signalling your intentions to other drivers and ensuring road safety. Over time, these bulbs can burn out, become dim, or flicker. Replacing a faulty indicator bulb restores proper signalling and helps you stay compliant with road laws.
What is an indicator bulb replacement?
This service involves removing the faulty indicator bulb and installing a new one. Depending on the vehicle, the bulb may be located in the front, rear, or side of the vehicle, and may require partial removal of the light housing or lens cover.
Why do you need an indicator bulb replacement?
A failed indicator bulb reduces your ability to signal lane changes or turns, which increases the risk of accidents. It can also cause your car to fail a WOF or safety inspection.
Common signs you need an indicator bulb replacement
- Indicator does not light up when switched on
- Fast flashing indicator on the dashboard (hyper-flashing)
- Indicator light is dim or flickers
- Warning light on the dashboard for exterior lighting
- Failed vehicle inspection due to non-working indicators
What happens during an indicator bulb replacement?
A mechanic will:
- Identify the faulty indicator bulb
- Access the indicator housing or lens
- Remove the old bulb safely
- Install a new bulb of the correct type and brightness
- Test the indicator lights and dashboard warning system
How much does an indicator bulb replacement cost?
Indicator bulb replacement typically costs $50–$120 depending on the vehicle. Some models with LED units may require full assembly replacement, costing $300–$800+.
Is it unsafe to drive with a faulty indicator bulb?
Yes. Without a working indicator, other drivers won’t know your intentions on the road, significantly increasing the risk of collisions. It should be replaced immediately.
