The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay My new turn signal indicators.

I have an aftermarket turn signal device installed in my '51 Chevy, which has no indicator. Or rather it used to have one, but it failed catastrophically.

Anyway, as the signal device is non-canceling, I often mosey on down the road with a blinker on. -OMS- (Old man syndrome)

So I thought an indicator for the turn signals might at least alert my passengers, (wife, daughter) to the fact that the turn signals were still on. I bought a couple of LED panel lights from Radio Shack and installed them in one of the speaker slots. Press fit, no dash mod necessary. Wired them into left and right blinker circuit. The LEDs are 12 V. but work fine on a my 6V. system.

Here are pics:

Right signal on.

4 way flasher on.

Enjoy!

Good thinking!

Nice, Kurt

That will make it easy to spot! With my column mounted switch, I still sometimes forget to cancel, like when somebody pulls out in front of me as I'm turning!!!!

Thanks for the kind comment, guys. If anyone wants the part number of the LED give a shout. I think I still have the package.

If you use your buzzer with that I don't see how you can miss! ;}
