As I said before.  the incandescent bulbs provide a ballast, extra resistan=
ce on the circuit, that stops the bleed through the trafficator indicator t=
o the other bulbs.  Extra bonus, the front bulbs may light more brightly si=
nce they can draw more - mine did.

This makes no sense to me.  Apparently in the last few weeks I replaced the=
 front bulbs with LEDs.  The rear already had them.



Replacing the front bulbs with analog bulbs fixed the problem, and, as a bo=
nus, the green trafficator light is now working.  I haven=92t seen that for=
 years.



Now the blinkers work as they should.
