Nice Brad, I’ve got the custom led setup too with some nice taillight housings Ian made for me. Did you need to run extra relays so the semaphores stayed on (constant power with indicator on) while the rear/front indicators flash??

Not worrying about semaphores

Ah fair enough, was hoping you’d have already worked it out by the time I finally run all my wiring!
I keep getting sidetracked with putting others bits n pieces on my bus!!
