if its a spanish truck I would check the back lights just in case.
im not sure if the 410 does but the spanish samurais (early and late) have a stupid earth bar that runs across the back of the bulb holders... its directly in the way of where the tyres spray mud and water and they seem to rot away and you end up with disco lights
(there is a little square "mudflap" thing in front but they just rot away first)
if you get for LEDs they really don't need anywhere near as good an earth... but I would go for an LED indicator relay instead of ballast resistors.
they are rated lower, so the LEDs wont flash quickly like when you have a bulb out.
you can get them off ebay for a couple of quid and it saves wiring a ballast resistor into each indicator

Thanks twiss, I think I will survive the fast flashing for now as that earth bar has rotted out, it seems that it would be easier and more reliable if I switched to led's. Yes it's Spanish....I hate the wiring!
Rear indicators work fine, they just flash fast because of the situation of the bad earths on the front end.
I'm guessing I just need some simple led indicator lights? Then use the existing indicator wiring?

Check out the ebay shop of Bolt on Bits... I got mine from there and they aren't that expensive

I think this is the relay I got... but beware, my fusebox had a little bit moulded around where the relay goes.
So I had to attack it slightly with a file but now it fits perfectly
