    You need a LED indicator relay to replace the standard one, off eBay for £14.

    Wot they said, led's dont draw anything like the same currant as conventional bulbs and a special solid state relay is needed.

    I went down the in line resistor route as that's what I got supplied (bought indicators from R&G with tail tidy) but either option will do the trick
