I’m trying to modernize my lighting to use LED and halogen. I’ve tried the flasher mod and it's not working. Using the original relay the lights blink fast as long as I have a couple of filament bulbs installed. The hazards are also working with a few old bulbs installed. When I use the flasher mod all I get is one relay click but no flashing. My car is a 1970 2800cs. Images are the mod in question. Is this supposed to work for all models? Any suggestions to get the flashers working? Another question I have is about headlight protection. I have some covers over my old sealed beams and I think it would be good to retain these when upgrading to halogen. Since the halogen upgrade may disappear in the future it seems wise to try to protect the glass. Has anyone purchased these covers and if so from where did you get them? Mine are a bit yellow. The front of the original bulb looks new. The covers worked great and are hardly noticeable. Has anyone tried the protective film for headlights and if so how has it held up?

I used Lamin-X covers. Bit of a PIA to contour to the light but robust.
Are you mix/matching LED and filament bulbs?
No. They will all be LED but I mentioned the mixed bulb type to show that the issue is related to the low load LED bulb not the system in general. I have ordered another flasher unit. Im hoping I just got a low quality one that really doesn't work with LEDs even though it specifically states it does.
That is the correct bulb in Red, used in both running and brake light
Isn't the running light supposed to be dimmer so that braking is more obvious? I did use the same bulb for both but the original filament bulb was of the small type.
