All sorted thanks to the legend that is Roo.  Well almost, the neutral light comes on then hors out but I'm sure it's an easy fix

Roo a legend - he will wear that accolade as a hard earned well deserved  badge of honour.👍👍👍

To quote a good friend of mine, you know what’s at the leg end?

Yup, an arse

It’s great what you can gleen from a phone call or two to try a remote diagnosis.

Happy you’ve sorted it Dom

I've fitted led indicators to both front and rear of my 550, the two wire rears work perfectly but I'm having a few issues with the fronts, that is they don't work at all.  Now I think this is due to their three wire set up, I should mention at this point that I also have a new Koso gauge so therefore an led dash indicator.  Am I correct in saying I need to fit diodes and reco figure the current 3 wire configuration?

Bit of an update, made up a gauge and ignition brackets out of 2mm steel bent in a vice with lots of mapp gas, lots of hacksawing and even more filing.  Really happy with the results!

Good bit of Metalwork there Dom - always a nice feeling to make something yourself.

Thanks Ted!  Do you know if I'm barking up the right tree with my led's as I think you've done similar?  Currently the fronts won't light up at all.

With some LED's they need connecting with the right polarity - hope I'm not insulting your intelligence.
Some LED's are not Polarity sensitive but probably  most are.

I tested mine with a slave battery - some come with good instructions.

Nice work on the instrument bracket. It looks very professional.  👍

Are the 3 wire front indicators made so that they can be used as daytime running lights (as in USA)?
If so you can leave the running light wire disconnected, not used. The other 2 wires would be power from flasher relay and earth. Just need to identify which is which.
LED indicators either use a resistor in each indicator wire with the original flasher relay or use an LED electronic flasher relay which doesn't need resistors.
