If it's a filament bulb it won't work if you have LEDs all round and an LED relay. There won't be enough current to light a filament bulb.

Yeah good point, never thought of that.

I have led dash bulbs with my led indicators.

i know why the dash isnt working.. and i am a PLANK! for not reading the diagram properly!!!
i fitted a diode on BOTH the orange AND blue wires...BUT--->
no earth wire.. or cut the blue & join to the orange wire!!
