    Correct me if im wrong but could it just be ones in the wrong way? Also a question for you. With the LED bulbs can you see the individual LED when you indicate or brake or whatever?

    This depends if the lens is frosted or see-through, and also the LED type. e.g if its multi-angled to fill the lens with light, or pointed directly out

    For VL, I would be getting a multi-angled globe as it would fills out the whole lens, rather than a straight bulb where you would see a more of a circle of light where the globe is.

    Flashing too fast is common as they would be different wattage to normal globes. My mate put an aftermarket front bar/indicators on his R33 and i fixed them flashing too fast with some 10kohm resistors they are only a few dollars from jaycar. The resistance you need will depend on what the globes were and what they are now.
    Cheers.
