    I never wanted to be "that guy" but today I was; in the left lane for quite a while then realizing my turn signal had been on for miles.

    So, the top was down, stereo on and that great V8 symphony was adding to the background.
    The sun was out, my sunglasses were on and the blinking turn signal light is deep inside the instrument cluster.
    Oh, and as I age, I'm not hearing as well as I used to.

    Has anyone modified their turn signal in any way to make it easier to hear or easier to see in daylight. Is there anything aftermarket available?

    This has to the the most hilarious "serious" post in a while :)

    And I was just wondering if anybody was ever able to make their turn signal indicator blink separately for left and right turn signals.

    Looks very interesting. My main concern is the loudness of the ECU. Does changing the MHz do anything regarding volume (I would think not)? Or do you just choose a value that cuts thru the background noise somehow?

    I also installed the Scud Ing Swiss turn signal relay in my F430, works great.

    The sound is now from a loud buzzer, rather than the old relay click sound, you can't miss it.
    I almost find the buzzer to loud, for my taste.

    I too installed Scud Ing Swiss turn signal solid state relay and turn signal LED bulbs. 1000% happy.

    My old 360 turn signal was deafening (snapping chicken bones) by comparison the the virtually silent one in my 430. Go figure.

    My '99 360 sounds like a bird chirping. You definitely know when it is on.
