Turn signals
 

Here is what I'm using on my 41. I have to run a wire to the left parking light and the stop light switch. My harness already has two wires for turn signals on the rear. I also have to run three more wires to the firewall side of the dash harness. Costs a little more but is self canceling by time. If you put on the brakes it pauses the canceling. Pretty clever IMHO.

Nice. Slick little deal. Where did you get that at? I saw something similar at Speedwaymotors.com

The ones at speedway don't self cancel. See the link above for where I got mine.

I have one in my roadster and it works great. You do have to have a filtered generator or alternator and spiral core type plug wires.

I have the same unit on my '40 and they work great. I chose to put separate orange lensed lights on the front bumper and red lensed lights on the rear bumper. I wired the turn signals and the brake lights into the added rear lights so I now have the stock tail lights/stop lights and the added ones come on when I hit the brakes. Much brighter, gains at least a little more attention and they don't look all that bad.

One note on amber colored front turn signals. I have '56 VW in front(similar to '41's) and I installed amber bulbs. People complained that they didn't show up because the T/S were just above the headlights. I switched to Ron Francis "bright bulbs" in front. Made a huge difference.

I have the same unit on my 41 Ford as well as my 36 Ford. They work fantastic. I polished the aluminum turn switch on the steering column and it looks like it was factory original.
