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.

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.

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.

Hi Bryan and thanks,
Do you mean push down from inside where the slide goes in? Unfortunately the system will not allow me to post any pictures at the minute.

Thanks

Thank you, as per previous advice I’ve seen here I will put a piece of white paper close to the front tappets and check for splashes.

I presume the amount of oil will be sufficient that there would be no doubt that it’s there?
