The following is very common on the BJ8 - On the BJ8, the power comes to the turn signal warning lights on the dashboard from the P tab on the flasher relay and also in the reverse direction from the left and right turn signal circuits themselves via the turn signal switch.  This then passes a small amount of current out to the opposite side and though not enough to light a filament bulb it is enough to just light an LED and cause all 4 or just one of the opposite side lamps to light.  We also do wonder why AH ever came up with this arrangement as it is not needed.  This is not an issue that you will see with the incandescent lamps fitted as they take more current than an LED to light, however the problem is still there, just not seen. 

The cure is quite simple - remove the Light Green and Purple wire from the P tab on the flasher unit and take it to a good earth (ground).  Leave the P tab on the flasher with no connection.  The warning lights are then driven individually by the left and right turn signal circuits and controlled by the turn signal switch.  Therefore there is no risk of current bleed as the opposite warning light receives no current at all.  This is likely to reverse the left and right tell tale warning lights on your dash. If this happens, you will need to swap over the tell tale lamp holders.

Big improvement!

This is the 2nd classic I've bought LEDS for, and I'm very happy with the set for my AH 3000. The green dashboard indicator LEDs in particular are much more visible than before.

The LEDs are easy to fit and make an amazing difference! I had a couple of questions and the technical support was very good and very swift to reply . Certainly recommend them

61 Austin Healey 3000 (positive ground)

The packaging and attention to detail, putting it all together, was very impressive as were the quality of the bulbs. I was so excited I started changing the bulbs immediately, starting with the red brake light LED's. I changed one then compared it with the other existing (which was a halogen bulb) and the red LED was noticeably brighter. Your recommendation of red LED’s for the red glass beehives was perfect as was the warm white LED’s for the clear glass beehives in the front. While I’m at it, the warm white dash lights are perfect as well…certainly brighter than the originals. Now the original reason for ordering…..the headlights! It was almost a shame to take them out of the box as they would have been good enough to display on a coffee table. The first one I changed I turned the heat sink around thinking that it would be too wide to fit in the basket but it actually fits both ways so I left them the way they came. I was concerned that everything would not fit behind the lens but it all did. I tried the lights after I changed one and the difference, in broad daylight, was staggering to say the least. Putting in the second only took minutes after doing the first. Even the rubber sealing boot that covered the back of the original H4's fit perfectly. Not much more to say but thank you Duncan, well done. I will pass this info along to other British Car clubs in the area.
