    Weird behaviour from my 2008 Copen - just did a full replacement of the indicator bulbs with LED ones (the previous filament bulbs with the silver coating looked nice but were far too dim). Made sure I bought CANBUS compatible bulbs. They flashed at the correct rate when parked up with engine off - both when indicating and on hazard lights - and I thought OK, job's a good 'un. Won't have to take the front wheels off for a blown bulb again for a good long time, because God knows that's a pain and in winter it's the worst.

    However... with engine running, they go into hyper-flash.

    Anyone able to recommend a flasher unit that would fix this? I solved a similar problem on my old Mk.1 MX-5 by getting a spare flasher unit and replacing the resistor with a bigger one to mimic the higher resistance of filament bulbs, but I'd rather just buy off the shelf if possible....
