Very close to being finished now, I've wired the front indicators and rear led lights. The rear right light wired in fine but the left one I'm having trouble with. If I indicate on both sides everything works fine but as soon as I put the hazards on they start blinking fast but no bulbs are out.
I disconnected the rear left indicator wire and both indicators and the hazards work fine so it's got to be something with the rear left light unit, any help would be appreciated Thanks

I have a set on my build as I have led lights and they work a treat

Brilliant, I'll let you know if it works!

Not sure if you had the MEV lighting kit with LED side repeaters included. If so they come with resistors. The rear lights are also LED but high brightness, cheaper ones are poor. The FOG is also LED but cheaper ones can be marked incorrectly for IVA. E mark is not enough, they must also have the correct location mark. This is important as we often see builders use side repeaters for main indicators and fail due to brightness being 5 watt not 21w or equiv. There is also a fix, changing one little resistor in the flasher unit.

Yes I did get the rear led light kit from you, exactly the same setup as on your orange g-type. Where abouts is the resistor I need to change? Within the led stop tail indicator unit?

Ah just found out it's In the relay, I'll try that then thank you

I've just wired in a 1 mega ohm into the R1 slot but now the indicators flash about 5 times as quick as hyper flash... I have the mk2 not the mk1 would this be the reason why it didn't work?

I think I found the issue... Even though I selected 1 mega ohm they have sent me 1 million ohm resistors instead...

Stupid me just realised they're the same thing... So still don't know whats going on then If I connect the resistor in series with the wire going to the indicator in question it flashes at normal speed which is good but so dim that you need to be close up to see them flash

Anyone have any ideas on what I could do? Thanks

what about without a resistor connected?

It's blinks just a fast without a resistor as with the 1M ohm resistor what about without a resistor connected?

I would try with a couple of 21W bulbs across the flasher to make sure it is correct before yuo assume its the LEDs causing issue
