Hi Colin, I’ve done this very successfully on our 1937 Opal. There is a dual function LED available to fit into the side lights which cleverly gives you a yellow flashing light when indicating and plain white for side light. This works well and the indicator is positioned on the car in a good place to be seen.
I have kept the semaphore indicators working separately as originally switched from the steering wheel for originality but never use the when out on the road — they are good fun but don’t stand up to comparison with LEDs when it comes to modern driving conditions.
As for rear lights, you can fit an indicator/tail/ brake LED into the pork pie lamp.
BUT it’s essential to have a good earth to each point.
All the best,
Charles
