Stop and tail don't need anything doing. Indicators need an electronic flasher unit. Don't go down the route of using resistors instead,
as they then just use the same power as normal bulbs and the resistors get hot.

Agreed - fit a proper electronic flasher when replacing indicators because the resistor bodge is simply a fire hazard.
ry and find Luxeon LEDs as they are much brighter. The conventional LED 'bulb replacements' are very directional and have a narrow field
of view so avoid them like the plague. Also do not use the white LEDs (except for front sidelights) as they end up very dim after being filtered by
coloured lenses - eg. use red and amber for brake & indicator.

You can get the LED's to work normally with normal voltage, and flash normally, if you put a regular, higher voltage light on the same circuit
(like the ones you see on the side). This draws all the power, and your circuit will be happy.
The flasher relay won't work with LED's alone, unless you get a special one. Do the way I suggested and the flasher can be a cheapie.
I've been down that road, so to speak!!
