Hi

When i put my indicators on the main lights flash as well.

When I put the lights on and then turn the indicators on, they don't actually work and the indicators light up???

What's going on there?

Not sure of your exact problem but ALWAYS start with the ground wires. You're looking for the hedgehog of brown wires on a crown of terminals under the nearside dash A pillar area. These corrode out and the current you send to one light cannot ground itself correctly so looks for any route out so making other random lights come on. Good luck.

as mr swede said, earthconnections..... either at the earth crown above the fusebox, or behind the grill, near the headlights if yours has them there........
