RDX LED indicator lights not working. Help!

[Defender007]

Hoping for a quick and easy solution HAHAHA.

I have a 2006 Defender 110 TD5.

I recently purchased from Bolt on Bits 4 orange RDX brand LED indicator lights with LED flasher relay.

I replaced the original flasher relay with the LED flasher relay. The LED flasher relay also operates bulb lights. I figure I replaced the flasher relay correctly because all of the original bulb indicators and hazard still work as they should.

I then replaced a rear indicator light with the new RDX LED and no joy. All the other indicators and hazard lights work but not the LED. I have lined up the cable colours correctly, black with black etc.

Has anyone had this same experience?

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you!

Have you adjusted the relay?

on some cars you have to swap the wires. I did on mine

Test using a battery and test wires...
Once you know what's what then test the plug on the vehicle with a multimeter.

This was the problem. Swapped wires around and BOOM bright LEDs!

So as the same you all I replaced my lights with RDX type. Followed all instructions as per the letter by testing using the hazard switch. All was good. Come to use the car to take the kids bike riding and no indicators on either side. Have tested using hazard switch again, all work just not as directional indicators. I even put the wires in temporary as I was installing to make sure they worked. After reading lots of threads saying to swop the wires around (thought how can anyone get this wrong, just follow the colours). I have yet to test this incorrect wiring solution, but if I do, will it mean my directional indicators will work but not my hazards? Yes, swoped out the relay and set up to not have trailer light flash.

Any other advice?

Had the same problem hazards work but indicators do not, I found that the wire on the back of the hazard switch that powers the indicators had broken off the connector. Once reattached in the plug on the back of the hazard switch indicators working again.
