I have LED side, rear and indicators on my 93 200Tdi. I didn't fit them, bought the car with them already fitted.

My problem is that when indicating right all six (2 front, 2 rear and 2 side) flash together and the dash light is very dim. Occasionaly it works fine, though the next turn it's wrong again.

Left indicator works fine.

I'm thinking either an earth problem or the flasher unit???

Anyone know this issue?

Usually the hazard switch is faulty and causes problems like this. They're pretty cheap to replace.

Park it out front of your house and use it as a Christmas decoration.

Have you got normal side repeaters fitted? If so, investigate them for a failed one. I had exactly the same fault on mine.

The tell tale lamp has a current bleed, usually its not enough to light a normal bulb but leds need a lot less current, put a normal bulb in the circuits, for example inside the wing or use them in the wing side indicators, that will solve your problem.
