I got suckered and bought the worse XJ550 ever...

Everything is working fine. If I switch the left turn signals on then both the front and back LED turn signals flash and also the orange indicator light on the dash display. It turns off when I press the turn signal button in. The same is for the right side and yes all the lights are LED. Also not all the lights just blink as one as in emergency flashers. Just the side that I want to as per normal. Maybe that LED flasher has something in it to make up for the lack of diodes? I don't know but either way they are working and I am happy and the key to the success is Rooster's advice on cutting that one wire and then grounding it out. Way ta be Rooster and I thank you. I officially owe you one Canadian beer!!!

 

So I am curious now as it should not be working so a couple of questions:

You definitely have LED bulbs in the four turn signal assemblies? Perhaps they are just lower wattage incandescent than OEM?

You have the stock incandescent bulb in the indicator light on the dash?

 

Yes and yes. I think the wattage is like half of what was in there.
