About a year ago I installed a signal light beeper as per Steve Byer and his
drawings. I love it and use it all the time.
I have not recd the international hand signal for 'you're signal lights are
on" once since installing the beeper. I looked for a beeper with a click
sound but nothing doing where I looked. And anyway I'm happy with it as is.
Thank you Steve.

I put an audible turn signal warning on my BJ8. I've sent John Sims the
technical info for his site
(http://www.healey6.com<http://www.healey6.com/>).
I was going to use chimes instead of a buzzer because the chime tone is less
annoying, although still audible at speed; but I ended up using a chime for
the left and a buzzer for the right (long story). Now, I can tell which one
is on without looking at the light!

A few days ago there was someone stating that he was going to change his
indicator relay for one that clicks louder.
I solved the problem of forgetting to cancel the indicators by fitting a
small 12V 80dBA buzzer parallel to the warning lights. I have one for
right and one for left but if you have a single warning light it will
work as well. These can be had from ebay, electronic shops or radio
shacks. I paid GBP0,99, about US$2, each for them.
The buzz is annoying and very audible also at high speed. You cannot
ignore it. Fitted in minutes and you can keep your original relay.
