Phil you can't miss those indicators on the back can you? That conversion was the best thing I did to my car for road safety ( mine as well as others). I feel a lot safer and don't get grief from "modern" drivers when I want to turn corners now.

Graeme yes youre right, cant miss them. My problem is remembering to return switch to neutral after use!!And they look good also in my opinion.

I can't forget because my flasher unit is quite loud. As I have no radio I got one of those sprung steel clips that hold cylindrical objects and used one of the existing screws that mounted the speaker grill to the dash. that way the sound comes through the grill.
