Modded My Exige V6 To Add Ticking!

[Simon Mac]

Any of you with Exige V6's (possibly S3 Elises with LED indicators too) will know how annoying the lack of audible feedback that the indicators are on is.

 

Fortunately there is a solution

 

Replace the OEM flasher (the Perei unit) with a cheap ebay jobby.

 

It's located under the dash, just left of centre. .It's a bit fiddly as you can't grab the unit on opposite faces to pull it out, so required some wiggling, but can be done blind whilst sitting on the sill.

 

It is the top item in this photo.

 

 

 

Now I have ticking inidcators, which work fine on the hazards too!

lol, well I didn't weigh them, but I would say there is 4/5ths of F-All savings to be had

 

Why Lotus don't ship with them is strange, I guess the ebay ones are old school mechanical, and very few OEMs use those anymore going all digital with warnings all being through speakers driven via the CAN bus.

I just don't indicate.

I just don't indicate.

 

That's what too much time driving your wife's beemer does for you

[Zyp]

Lol

And a van.

You don't have to indicate in a van either.
