1969 MK3 Spitfire. New wiring harness. Using LED bulbs all around. which relays, turn signal and hazzard should I be using. With LED specific relays, hazzards blink but can not be shut off, turn signals light up but do not flash. Any suggestions, very much appreciated.
 
The flashers depend on a certain current to operate. LEDs use much less current. You need to replace the flashers with ones designed for use with LEDs. Existing relays, however, should be fine.
 
Another possibility: keep the old bulbs in the circuit (hidden away). That way the flasher will have sufficient current to operate.
