I've started some of my winter improvement jobs on the Roadster.
In the past It's been suspension upgrades and engine swaps but "Nero" doesn't need any of that so I've turned to some slightly more prosaic modifications.
On my 2009 Roadster, the turn indicator warning lights are low down in the centre console (as in many other models) and I was finding that it was all too easy to forget to cancel them when concentrating on the road ahead and with engine and wind noise masking the feeble warning beeper.
So I've added a new single warning light high up on the dashboard, right in front of my line of sight next to the rev counter.
I've used a very discreet black bodied LED the only shows the green when the indicator is flashing so It blends in very well with the black dashboard.
Needed a 16mm hole but I also had to counterbore the back of the dashboard to accommodate the limited thread length on the LED.
The other issue was to get a single warning light to work on both indicators without feedback to the none operating light.
To accomplish that I put a couple of diodes in the circuit and took the main feeds from the front indicators. Low power LED warning light so it doesn't affect the main flasher unit.
Works a treat and hasn't changed the flasher rate at all.
I'm not saying I'll never forget to cancel the indicators ever again but this mod will certainly reduce the likelihood.
