Default LED upgrade

I am told that LED upgrades to pre 1986 cars are now legal and have changed the lot on the 406. Pretty straightforward and excellent results. The dashboard lights are now bright enough that I might consider using the dimmer. I have front sidelight / indicator units with clear lens and clear / amber bulbs. Reversing lights now much brighter. Way less load on the old dynamo.
The LED indicator lamps do not draw enough current to operate the original flasher units. I have stuck with positive earth so new electronic units with ground wires were fitted.
All items purchased from the Classic Car LEDs Ltd.
