Interior panels in place. radio/CD/MP3 player yet to go in.

As rear flasher lights were LED's needed to add in a resistor.
Area still needs tidying up but in position.

Just swap to a led flasher relay. There are under £10 on eBay. Just need to order one that is the correct polarity.

All bulbs are non LED except for the 2 new rear side lamps. So I felt I only needed to add resistors to cover them. Is this not correct?

When I only had led fronts I didn't bother with resistors. But when I went full led, I did as scottie suggested.

You don’t actually need the resistors if they are additional lights as you still have the resistance from the factory bulbs for the flasher relay to work correctly. They are only
needed if your are replacing any of the original indicators with leds.

However it’s just easier to swap to a led flasher relay anyway, these still work with normal bulbs, they just don’t need the resistance from the bulbs to set the flash speed.
