LED lights? Not flashing?

Ok, I have been trying to improve my lighting and one of the most frustrating things about my lighting is when indicating my headlamp bulb dims real bad. Which ain't great in the dark country side, so I thought using an LED bulbs would solve this as they use much less wattage. But after fitting them, they don't flash, any thoughts?

It's a standard MK1 T5.

Thanks,

LED's will need a special LED flasher relay, Vehicle Wiring Products do them.

Doh! :wtf:

Never thought of that, I will look into it. Why do they need one? And would it be a direct replacement for my normal flasher unit?

Thanks once againe. :)
