Hello guys, hope you are all well. This is my first post on the forum. I was hoping somebody might be able to shed some light on a LED indicator bulb upgrade for my QQ J10 (2009) Installed the front bulbs then the back ones but didn’t button everything up till I turned them on, when I did the rear bulbs started rapid flashing on both sides, but the front bulbs were not flashing/ not working on either left/Right turn. When I press the hazards button the back flashes normally but still no signs of life from the front indicators. I replaced high/low beam and side lights with led too and they work fine.
Do I need to replace the flasher relay with an LED relay or is there maybe more to this? Thank you in advance for any help with this. Joe.

Welcome to the forum, unfortunately (as a mechanical/electrical numpty) I can’t answer your question.
Maybe an auto electrician is needed ?

Do they work with normal indicator bulbs in the front ?

LEDs need to be connected the right way around, have you tried reversing the connections on the front LEDs?
