The tell tale bulb? If that fixed it you will need to install the diodes to get the tell tale back pretty sure it's an MOT requirement.

Two diodes (one from each indicator feed) in series with the tell tale will sort this. Have a search on here, I posted a circuit diagram etc. at the time.

Help needed please!
So ive fitted full LED lights on the 90, they look great apart from if I either indicate left or right all indicators work, I know its something to do with the indicator warning light on the dash causing the problem, but how do I fix it? Heard about wiring a separate earth on the multiplug which goes into the dash, has anyone done this?

Easily solved, wire the old side repeater lamp holders in parallel with the new led lights and tuck them in the wing cavity behind the new ones, it works!

Have the LED flashing problem!! Have read that the best way is to fit diodes into the circuit.
This sounds a logical solution except I don't know where to fit them!!
Any ideas and a good diagram would help me and a few hundred others. Thanks

Have a look at this: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/has-anyone-ever-diodes-in-the-indicator-circuit.273205/

I've heard off people fitting Capacitors to solve this issue as well not sure if you need to fit 1 to each indicator though.

9 times out of 10 its the L.E.D. flasher unit they are crap, I fitted my led's early this year and I'm on my 3rd one, first one didn't work at all second one packed up a month ago and this third one is a BP one as appose to the Wipac one so it will be interesting to see how long this one lasts, I have been told that the R.D.X. ones are good so I will get one in ready just in case, knowing my luck the BP one will last for ever and ever and ever

I replaced all lights to LED's and yes lost the tell tale on the dash. Bolt on bits sold me the new bulb with an earth, but it didn't work. Solution wired back in the two front repeaters along with the LED's and hey presto the bulb on the dash works a treat.
