this is confussing me why

fitted front and rear led indicators and also led flasher relay

first problem i had was when i indicated right all four flashed and the same when i indicated left, after removing the bulb on the indicator reminder the problem was solved indicate left and left flash and same with the right.

But then i fitted a led bulb in the reminder light and its back to all four flashing.

Anyone know how to solve it? :smt100

should imagine its a current issue,
wrong indicator relay coz theres still too much going through the system?

or summat i duno lol

i couldnt get the front AND rear to go either, ive only got the front led, the rear is normal,it works fine...

Check all the wires and connectors might just be wires making contact that shouldnt hence all coming on t the same time it could be shorting something out x

How do the LED indys earth ?

Check the connection inside them, try earthing them out yourself with additional wire and see if it cures it then make a permanent solution.

Wrong relays usually have them flashing at the wrong rate.

just brought a couple of led load resistors to fit to the rear ones to see if they help and gonna leave the front leds to run off the led relay

solved the problem by putting a 50w resistor on each of the rear led indicators.
Now have my light flashing on the indicator panel when they are on and the resistors also solved my 10%-100% flash

Hi there I was just wondering how and where you fitted the resistors for the indicators as I am having the same problem with mine

I fitted 1 to each rear led indicator and changed the relay to a led one

Yes that what I tryed to do and some reason I seem to have all 4 on at once still it's really confusing me now, but if I put a extra bulb set of indicators on the front it works fine, it's frying my brain at the minute haha
