many thanks

Answer
Hi Paul.
 Did you just relocate the original lights, or did you replace them with aftermarket lights when you did the relocation?  That can mean all the difference.

 If they are aftermarket lamps, then you will have to install a resistor (just a few miiliamps resistance) into each side for the new lights.  Conversely, you could place the originals back on in the new locations, which would also do the job.

 If they are the originals, then you may not have a good ground and may need an additional ground run to insure a good one.  Also, there could be a short in the wiring that you cannot see, which you will need a multimeter to find.

That's about all that I can think of that would cause that problem.

Good luck.
