Noticed that my right indicators and brake lights were not working. Checked and they had blown. Thought it was possible that it was just time for a change as they'd last been replaced a few years ago.

Unfortunately, the new bulbs blew within a day of replacement.

My first thought is that it's not a problem with the voltage reg as the other bulbs work normally.

Any suggestions thanks

Hello. Check the voltage across one of the bulbs. it should stay at 12V when you rev the engine. Personally I would change the regulator. When mine went wrong it was the small bulbs which blew first. For safety I would change the main headlight bulb as well. even thought it might still work, it's been stressed electrically and won't last much longer.
