I decide to rebuilt all the gauges in my dash, at that time i also replace all lights

with LED's. Really like them except for both directoinal indicator lights,

they are on all the time. They still blink correctly,they are just on all the time.

Even with the small drain that supose to have on the battery, it eventually goes

dead. Mech. says " because there LED's that is the why it has to be" that just

doesen't seem right to me . Is there a RIGHT way on Wrong way to in stall LED's.

Or should I just go back to the stock blubs in that location???????

Inquiring minds what to know!

I may be able to help figure this out. First of all, what do you mean that they blink correctly, but they're on all the time? Also, did you just replace the dash indicators with LEDs, or the front and rear outside directional bulbs as well?

This is a tricky circuit. It was designed to give you a cockpit indication of when you have a directional bulb failure. I backdated my '76 to an earlier style tach with both left and right indicator, and I had to figure it out. '76 only had one indicator that flashed for either left or right.
