Right,
If I cup the Dash with my hands the Flasher for the indicators does work but its so DIM it impossible to see while riding

Sorry Andy I stand corrected I forgot I did the diode mod at the same time as changing to the LED's. I think that's the 1st time I've seen that post you put up, I bloody wish I'd seen it a while back, makes understanding the circuit so much easier.

Yeah - just need to get round to adding the words to explain it all ..... when I've finished it, I'll make it a sticky.

Bugger, are you sure all the indicator bulbs are 10w (esp the new fronts), you mentioned earlier that the rears are now a bit dim. Sounds like all of a sudden the fronts are sucking all the current, more watt's = less resistance = more current.

The number of times this type of question gets raised it would deffo be worth it, the diags do make it very easy to understand. Also might be useful to point out the reason for putting the resistors in parallell not in series as it's often asked.

Yeah I plan to explain it all - and why one of the configs there doesn't work.

I started the thread because people ask about it so often - or screw up changing to LED indicators ..... I just need to get on and finish it off.
