Indicator/headlight issues CIVIC EP3 (europe)

Front Indicators stay on(do not flash just solidly on) when my headlights are on and also my full beams don't work!!

I have a prefacelift car and facelift headlights.
All fuses and grounds are fine the lights are LED (so can't be the bulbs) so I am completely stumped here.
Any ideas??

I did not install them therefore no idea, this was all done by previous owner
However when the indicators are on they flash as if a bulb was out so I would say probably not

re: Indicator/headlight issues CIVIC EP3 (europe)

the blinkers need a inline resistor to work. Common mistake
high beams, I think EP3 used a single bulb for low/high.
I don't think there are LED with low/high

Ahh ok, it is strange because they did work fine at first when I bought the car but after a while the full beams went, the electrical load detector went and since then my indicators stay on.

Fixed the load detector but same issue with the lights, I did have some wiring faults but I have since rectified them.

My headlights have 2 separate LEDs so I presume that 1 is for high and 1 is for low
