instrument panel LED problem.

Some help please.

I have one instrument panel LED indicator light fitted but using normal indicator bulbs.

But only the left indicator when used lights up the led, I am assuming it is a polarity problem with the LED.

The left feed is pos polarity and the right feed is neg polarity.

I there an quick fix ?

Thanks Jamie.

led's only work in one direction of current,thats why its not working with the right side of your indicators

how youd get it working idk,other than turn the led bulb around,but then youd have the opposite affect,right side would work and left side wouldnt

Little update I connected LED direct to front left & front right indicators with 2 in line diodes to stop bleed over, all sorted.
