My sidelights were converted to LED by a previous owner. I've just noticed however that when they are switched on and the indicator is activated the rear light on the same side as the flashing indicator blinks in sympathy with the indicator. The sidelight doesn't go off altogether just dims slightly and comes back on. This doesn't happen to the front side lights. Any suggestions what to look for would be appreciated.

Check ALL your grounds. Mine did the same.
 
Been chasing down bad grounding but haven't found one yet. Interestingly the front lights are LED but the rear lights are standard. Not sure where or what size resistor I should be looking for. Any additional info would be gratefully appreciated.

There's also a hazard warning system fitted and I've noticed that when I turn the left indicator on the light in hazard warning system switch flashes but it doesn't do it turning right so I guess the problem is in there somewhere.
