The filament in an incandescent bulb provides a leakage to earth that will needs diodes to allow the leds on the same circuit. The leds also require a low current flasher unit so you really can't mix them. Get an led flaher unit and fit led bulbs all round.

What he didn't realise was that some of the 3-wheeler Morgans were racing machines which are very highly geared.  They could only get up the very steep gradient by approaching it at high speed.   A magical afternoon that will long remain in my memory.   The marginally legal motor events are generally the best!
