Resistor for LCD turn signals

[Reboot]

Help! I installed 4 LCD turn signals on my 2000 V11 Sport, they will work with two installed on rear and orig. signals on front, but if I try to replace front signal(s), they will not flash. I suspect I require a resistor to make them work, anyone have any experience with this ?

Either resistors or the better option: Replace the flasher unit with one suitable for LED. But if you do, and if you have only one indicator light for the flashers, you need two diodes.

Could you please elaborate a little more?

When there is only one indicator light, it will get its ground from the other side, through the filaments of the non-activated side's bulbs. Since the indicator light is just 3 watts, it will suffice without them lighting up. I don't usually excuse myself for poor English but this is borderline

 

Anyway, when you replace those bulbs with LEDs you are removing the ground path. Here is a scetch I made sometime ago on how to fix that. Give it a proper grounding and put in diodes to separate each side.

i had the same problem with my 2004 V11 Le Mans . i removed the standard DENSO flasher relay and fitted a Jap one that is designed to run LED`s , now the four LED indicators flash like they should .
