You can do it with a DB10 relay available from Minor specialists (at a price!), or alternatively using a pair of relays from Pop Browns.
However, post 1965 cars must have amber indicators, so I wouldn't do it unless you're related to the head of the local traffic police.

Josh,

The Lucas DB10 brake light interrupter for the indicators is still available, but silly expensive. An alternative is to use a combination of standard relays (I believe they will go inside an old DB10 box?).

The wiring diagram below uses the terminal connection numbers from the original DB10 unit, so that the connections to the wiring loom remain the same as they were:

Can email you the jpeg file if you would like it?
