My flasher unit does not make enough of a "clicking" sound to over-come my smitty mufflers and engine noise and I don't like my "passenger" reminding me that the directional is still on. At one point I added a Radio Shack buzzer but it was extremely annoying. So pursuant to a few Forum posts I rappedthe buzzer with foam tape etc and it didn't help.

My car did not come to me as a "concourse" worthy car so I bought two red 1/8 inch diameter LED indicator bulbs, took my speedo dial apart, drilled two 1/8 inch holes thru the speedo dial face (one each side), thumb-pressed the LED bulbs into the holes, and connected each bulb to the proper side directional circuit. Works great .... LED's are bright, obvious, quiet, and very inconspicuous when not lighted (they look like small screw heads in the dial face).

A possible alternative is that flasher units certain cars (would be 12 volt tho) have a louder clicking sound.
