Front indicator bulbs classic
 
Looking to replace front indicator bulbs on my classic with LED bulbs, just been to car parts place and given me wrong bulbs, think they gave me the rear ones.

Can anyone confirm if these are the correct ones?

Just fitted the bulbs and now my indicators flash super fast. Sure read something before about this.

The leds draw very little current v a normal bulb , so the cars electronics / relay thinks the bulb has blown , you can wire in a resistor and it draws more current so flashing returns to normal , try a 25 or 50 watt resistor , option two is way it up , is it worth the hassle so put normal bulbs back in , your car your choices , i believe you can get specific led bulbs with the resistor built in , im not sure from where 👍😁

Yea read something like that about led bulbs taking less power and system thinking bulbs blown, I would just buy some originals, but then waste of led bulbs.

I'm guessing I'd fit resistor in loom just behind bulb.

The most simple solution is the change your flasher relay to ones that are for LEDs. They are really inexpensive and you won't have to deal with resistors for every flashing bulb you have on your car. The downside is they usually do not have the OEM clip molded to the body as they are usually build to suit many cars, which means you'll have to ziptie it to something to keep it from flapping around behind the dash.

All flashing indicators go through a relay. You just need to replace the OEM one with one like this that's designed for LED and it'll work for all indicator bulbs. The downside to these LED flasher relays is if any one of those LED bulbs fails there won't be any fast flashing to let you know one of the bulbs are blown.
