I'd say it's more likely you have a fuse gone in the e box (one in engine bay)

Fair enough

Well the number plates are just the same as the front side lights.. Cap less 5w

Brake lights are standard single fitment 21w and the brake light is also side light.. It's all duty cycle

Wouldn't bother with led to be honest as will just cause the light any way! Not enough resistance..

Best way is change for orange ones and switch ya us side lights in indicators on to same level!

Uh huh

Yep to look like us running lights, you code the indicators to come on dim when you switch lights on!

Indicators will work as normal when used!
