Turn signals
 

After installing a turn signal kit, & everything works. The only thing that I sometimes forget to cancel the turn on the switch. Has anyone ever hooked up a 12V buzzer to the system to help the driver notice with the cancelling of the turn. My A runs on a 12volt system. The other option is to put a more visible light where you can see it or a timer.

Yes. I have and it sure does remind you that the turn signals are working. I think most of the vendors here sell a version of this device. I bought mine from Snyders. Mine was so loud that I had to cover it with a piece of tape to make it tolerable.

6V, I used a flasher w/a built in buzzer I bought off'n ebay.

Something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/39283537468...Cclp%3A2334524

For my "hidden" turn signal system I drilled a hole thru one of the dash rail screws and inserted a 3mm LED for my indicator.

Blockhead, I have wanted to have a light but didn't know how to do it or what to use. I have a beeper but hate the sound.

How did you wire it, what products did you use?

That is indeed a very neat solution!
Did you wire the LED directly to the indicator?

I used a 3mm pre-wired green LED. My car is 12v. It is wired to my flasher but I imagine you could wire it the same way your beeper is wired. I use the same electronic flasher that Carl G. uses. It has 3 prongs, one for the"Pilot" light.

I try to keep my Town Sedan looking as stock as possible or at least vintage correct :rolleyes: while still adding safety items and other accessories.
