I smashed one of my front indicators on my Yamaha YBR 125. So I bought some LED Indicators from ebay. When I connected them up they light up but do not flash. I still have the bulb indicators on the back.

Is there anyway to use LED's on the front and Bulbs on the back without having a separate relay for each set?

its because they draw less current than bulb's, just get a relay for use with l.e.d indicators itl be the easiest option for you if you wish to keep the led ones on.

You can also put a resistor in series with the LEDs.

I'd go for a 10w one of around 50ohms.
