An indicator light indicator light.
The high beam indicator light is an indicator light. Same as the charge light and neutral indicator light. I didn't see a single mention of "turn signal" wording to say what it was to indicate.

I guess that I am mind reading impaired, unlike the rest of you. :D

'indicators' is Brit speak for turn signals.

Thanks for all the info, just have to decide whether or not to go for the red green/ port starboard option!

The indicator light in the instuement housing is out of sight especially, if using my GPS, this also means I can disconnect the indicator buzzer.

The Haynes manuals taught me that the writer didn't know what they were doing. They were paid to "write something" and that was it. The Chilton manual was the very worst one. We used it as a comic book. In one case about the /5 front cover electrics they had a photo of a /2 and it was upside down. That is some good proofreading.

You missed the trees for the forest. Just cause the tech info was all wrong doesn't mean you couldn't have picked up a bit of the Queen's English.

When Shakespeare spoke of bonnets and trunks, I don't think he was talking about vehicle parts. :mrgreen:

I'm going to take your word on this one (and any reference to Shakespeare). I couldn't even make it through the Cliff Notes.
