2 LED bulbs + 2 filament = working dash lights?
Would fitting just 2 LED parking light bulbs, still cause enough resistance to turn the panel warning lights on?

Ditto for indicators.

I want brighter parking at front only, & for right turn indicators. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

Swapping the front side lights for LED equivalents won't cause any issues. Changing the indicators won't work unless you add resistors to provide the necessary load for the flasher relay to work properly. Why you'd only want to change the right turn indicators though is beyond me. Are there no left hand turns where you live?

If you change all four then there are options for alternative relays that will work properly. Mobilecentre can supply all that you would need. Darren

Right turns in the UK are obviously riskier...
