Yes I've assumed so as the flasher specifically states led. However my indicators are standard bulbs. It had 4 x 10w and was going crazy, I got a bad explanation of how the flashers work and stuck 4 x 5w in it. Got some 15w on the way now. To me the ratings on the flasher are very unclear. It states

21w(23max) x2+3.4 led
23w max 4 bulbs.

I think I've translated that wrong when I took it as 23w max meaning all 4 bulbs combined must be under this figure. When it must really mean max 23 per bulb as most led side/repeater bulbs I could find are 21w..... Oops.

Maybe something along this line to slow down flash rate

Quick one, as I'm particular, in relation to the radiator where does the expansion bottle sit when in its normal habitat? Level with, above, below?

I would have agreed but they also work on both left and right indicate. Just left flashes faster. Bright side think I found a home for the expansion tank, just need grab some pipe at the weekend

Are there separate resisters (ballast) for the indicators

No, I had a look the original indicators aren't led either. It's direct from flasher to indicators. Gonna go try all 10 of the bulbs in different orders....... Could be a long night ha
