--- Quote from: DomP on May 25, 2024, 08:42:35 AM ---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?

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.

The new indicators are two wire, I've tried them in just about every combination but can't get them to work on th front, the rears are fine however. I've fitted a new relay to run leds as well

Have you tried switching the front bulbs with the rear?
Tested the front bulb holders using a test lamp?

I think I'll try this today Ted, I'll plug in an original lamp first. They were working before so with checking again before I go any further
DomP:
Retracing my steps paid off, when I've fitted new headlight brackets they mount onto plastic bushes so I had a break in the earth. Moving the ground wires to some spare plugs fixed it!
