Ive fitted side wing repeaters today which are led and after wiring them up to the front indicators,I find that the side repeaters are not working.
I know that the wiring is correct and I believe that I need an electronic relay to make the lamps work?
My original relay is a 3 pin and wonder if anybody can point me in the right direction please.
many thanks

Have you got the polarity correct, LED's will only work one way round. Try swapping the wires and see what happens.

Re: LED FLASHER UNIT QUEERIE
Adding a couple of LEDs to a circuit that was already working should not be a problem. It's replacing Incandescent lamps with LEDs that causes the issues because LEDs draw so much less current, so the traditional bi-metal strip Flasher doesn't work.

Did you check the repeaters before installing them?

Car is neg earth and Ive just ordered an electronic relay as the supplier advised that this would help
The indicators work fine direct from the battery when I checked them.
