The old man with the turn signal on

[IndyJimW]

That finally became me but I discovered a cure by accident. One of the problems that I had with the interior lights was the heat, melted lens, burned my fingers on the metal edges of the dash lights etc.

I changed over to LED lights which eliminated the heat and had a surprising added benefit. I replaced the dash light bulbs with LED’s of the same color, green for turn signal indicators, blue for high beams etc. The added benefit was that the lights are so clear that it’s impossible not to notice them even in sunlight. Not a glaring light that blinds you, just bright day and night.

I used the BA9s bulbs.

My left turn refuses to cancel even after I put a new switch in, so sometimes I'm that guy too!

If its a GM type column you have a left and right spring in the switch and a plastic cancel cam / horn ring that slides over the column. If you have replaced the switch, check the lobes on the cancel cam.

When I'm that guy its because I can't see the turn signal lights at all from my normal driving position. The lip of the dash is in the way. I have to bend my head down to see them.
