Hi Oliver343,
There is a light globe in each of the rev counter and speedo to illuminate the left and right indicators telltales.
Check that these haven't both blown.
Twist speedo / rev counter 1/4 turn. Remove unit and locate relevant wire running into back of it.
Globe on end of wire.
Cheers,
Nigel
PS Mine are very dim even with new globes.

Hi Doug,
So it could be the relay? I get the ticking noise when I push the flasher lever up and down but no lights on the dials. Where are the diodes located? Could be really hard to get to if there behind the dash. Thanks for your help. I guess I'll have to get a new relay and try that.

Odd fault?
As I read the posts, the left turn and right turn signals on the exterior of the car, front and rear not only light up, but flash. If all or any part of that compound sentence is false, then tis odd.
O'wise, if the exterior turn signals light up, but do flash, I'm with Doug.
Flasher relay. A device that makes and breaks the circuit mechanicly using a bimetal or electronically.
