You've been a massive help! Ok, so I think I have found some resistors local to me. They are the same value as the one in the link- 50w 6ohm, in a gold case too with tap splices. Ok, one more question (I think), will any LED indicator work with these now or are there certain voltage or output value indicators that work with these resistors?

Any LED lamp will work with the resistors (provided that it is a replacement for the OEM bulb type).

One thing to remember when you do an LED conversion is that the fast flash is a safety thing that lets you know that a bulb is burned out, and since the resistor keeps the system happy, you won't know if an LED is out. So, routinely take a peek to make sure that they are OK.

Noted. Many thanks for all your help. I've purchased the resistors and bulbs. May well post up a short video of them when it's done if anyone is interested!
