Well, the dash indicator lamp would still be powered with a diode out at all 4 flashers (bulbs) as you know diodes just allow current to travel 1 way through them. Since current never flows backwards from the flasher bulbs the diodes would not have any effect on the circuit other than dropping a half a volt or so to the bulb, all 4 (if they were LED's) would still flash. Doing diodes at the dash indicator bulb is another story as that is the only place that L & R are joined together through that bulb.
I also want to know why the BM red is not lighting up, keep us informed!
