Default LED indicators and flash rate

OK

u know I put LED's on

man said wouldnt pass MOT at fast flash rate so

- resistors-

OK- so all works fine at right speed............until:

I put my lights on.. if I have full lights on they dim and ig engine isnt on at all they dont even work and when rngine running and if they are on and I brake-- as you do at a junction(oops) they dim??))))

so@ I know its a voltage thing with LEDS- but I am a numpty !!!..


have I wired them wrong?.. ? i dont think so as the MOT man passed it as is but said I could do with a seperate relay -

not the one that is in use that is multi functional but keep that in and then bypass it for the indicators- he was goin on about orange wire for a suzuki or summat-!

I think they are ok but I worry that when I stationary (is that paper clips or standing still I never know if its an a or an e ) with my brake on- they dim.....

just how dim they are at night I know not- i will try tonite- may still be very visible in the dark..! and I dont (I know I should) ride in the day with my headlights on as I have blue covers !....


so any advise.. any electricians can provide me with the reason.!

i was well chuffed that I soldered all the resistors on myself(with help via msn from peter henry) ... and now it seems I may have made a faux pas!

NB- excuse my typing- friday is my longest day - stats at 5am !!... and I just got in and had 2 cans of bitter .. mmmmmmmmmmm
