The pilot lights are sort of an "idiot proofing" attempt to alert a driver he's still got a flasher working after a turn, on a non-cancelling setup. It would also be possible to wire the P terminal to a solid state beeper with a low current draw to give an audible warning instead of getting OCD about pilot lights. I've done that once, to warn a particularly dense (blonde) secretary at a school where I worked, to remind her to quit riding her brakes. She would wear out three sets of brakes in a school year, and when we came back from summer break, she was ready for another brake job. I connected a LOUD beeper to her brake light switch. I followed her down the road one day, and her driving technique was GAS-BRAKE-GAS-BRAKE-GAS-BRAKE-GAS-BRAKE- - - - - -constantly! The quintessential "2-foot driver"! I think she was living proof of the old adage "Peroxide rots brain cells!"
