All other indicators work fine when engine is running only the mirrors that don’t , when engine is off all work as they should .... do frustrating
Mirrors With Dynamic Indicators
- Thread starter Deaky
- Start date
If it turns out your voltage is too high for the dynamic indicators when the engine is running then you could fit voltage regulators to each side:

Thank you gents much appreciated, fingers crossed I get thereIf it turns out your voltage is too high for the dynamic indicators when the engine is running then you could fit voltage regulators to each side:

@Bainsey1695 Does your van already have LED lights?
Hi Deaky , how do you mean buddy ? It does have the headlights ?
Have you got VCDS?
Can you give me your long coding for your 09 BCM?
Hi Rob , sorry not got back to you earlier, I don’t have VCDS , so you think it’s just a setting that requires changing ? Do I still need the resistors fitted ? The setting that needs changing , what does it actually do ? Just so I can understand ?
Cheers Steve

Based on the info you have provided already you don't need resistors as I suspect that your new LEDs have almost the same wattage as your OEM bulb(5W).
You also need to deactivate indicator PWM, details below.
OEM T6 LED Rear Lights With Sequential LED Indicator "retrofit"
Watch this space :whistle:. Haha here he goes. I looked at these. I reckon a long strip similar to @Robert ‘s tail lamps indicators, but doubled-up so that the second strip faces backwards thus illuminating the cluster would sufficiently illuminate it
And if you don't have VCDS you should look at forum member map and find someone local who will be happy to help you

Rob , thank you mate , it’s sounds like that’s my problem , I’m in Weston super mare so il have a look to see who is closest thanks again buddyBased on the info you have provided already you don't need resistors as I suspect that your new LEDs have almost the same wattage as your OEM bulb(5W).

Just an update that I now have working indicators , the thread you sent me to deactivate the PWM worked , popped down the see Nathan at Vagon Works in Highbridge and 10 min later all working , cheers guys
I am glad I was able to help

Thanks @StudleyGlass & @Deaky for a well detailed thread. Whilst I was fixing a broken mirror, I ended up doing this mod too. Likewies @Robert for the info on picking up the side indicator feed from the BCM. Made it all so much easier. 
OK guys, the bits have arrived. I bought a set of lower covers and the LEDs. Any hints and tips before i start will be very welcome. I’m comfortable playing with the electrical side of things but bodywork isn’t my strongpoint. How did you guys mark up where to cut the lower casing?
I placed some masking tape over the LEDs and shaded them with a pencil, in order to draw out the edges. I then peeled that off and stuck it on to the lowers, and used that as a template to cut.
From the outside it looks like you don’t need to cut the upper, but you’ll notice that you need to cut the inner lip (that returns at a right-angle).
So I made a start on this today. I’ve cut the first of the lower covers to shape and reasonably pleased with it. IT isn’t perfect but it’s not bad either.
I have a few questions for those of you who have done this already please:
1. What glue did you use to fix the indicator module into the lower casing please?
2. Do I need to cut the lugs off the indicator module or will it fit in the upper casing with those intact?
3. Can someone point me to a post or video or something that shows me how to get the mirror and the covers etc. off. I have searched and searched but cannot find one.
progress so far:
