When I replaced my two side repeaters for LEDs I had nothing but problems. Sometimes indicating left or right would make all indicators flash. The tell tale done what it wanted. In the end I changed the side repeaters back to incandescent bulbs and it was all fine. Fast forward a few years, during the rebuild I fitted true LED side repeaters, and these work fine with the old setup.
I would replace the repeater LEDs with standard and see how you get on.

Surely this is the issue. You need an led specific flasher relay and then everything should work as it should including the tell tale.
So a quick update as its been a while
With a number of loaned and borrowed parts i started testing
First replaced two LED's with normal lights- no joy
Then fitted the Wipac relay - a little joy, a very faint glow from the dash
So fitted the LED with the extra earth wire- same again, a little glow
At this point i was half happy, it was working but not very bright, so was thinking how could i improve this when i discovered the below replacements, bought one green one, and brilliant, they work great, as bright as the rest of the dash.
