Did it have LED's before, if not might need the relay changing.

Made sure they are all earthed properly.

Hiya, one thing you may try is putting a resistor in line to increase the loading on the indicator circuit, the resistance of the bulbs will be much higher than that of the LED's, I've seen someone on ebay selling LED indicators and a resistor to cure this prob - may be worth a search. Sorry the memory cant help further with things like who and what the values are.

LED Indicators have lower wattage than standard indicators, and so it may be necessary to replace the relay to restore correct flash rate.

Or as above.

The indicators should have had something on the pack to advise you.
