I have just upgraded all of my Lights to LED's however the indicator side lights do not connect.

Does anyone know what I need to do?

I think if it was me id be cutting them, putting individual connectors on and connecting them to the corresponding wires. It’s probably the easiest way.

Cheers Ash, as I am not that great with electrics.

Any ideas on what connectors I should use and where to buy them from?

Cheers!

The easiest way would be the red spade connectors, get the covered ones which will keep the weather out a bit better. You can get them on eBay or you could nip to Halfords and they’ll have them in smaller quantities.

Have a look on YouTube if your not sure on how to use them. But it’s straight forward. Cut the plugs off, strip some wire, put the connectors on and plug them in.

Do I need to disconnect the battery to cut the wires?

It would be a lot easier if I don't have too but, wanted to check.

Thanks.

if you cut each individual wire individually, there is never any problem.

use Econoseal

Make sure you have a LED flasher unit, else they wont work, unless they come with those horrible resistor things.
