After some good advice from the forum concerning my '60 Bug and the leftover indicators fitted to my B pillars, I did some investigating and found that I have 2 nice holes behind where trafficators would have once been.
My VW manual says basically nothing about them and doesn't even have a picture. I have 2 wires on each side and nothing else. Can anyone help me with information on them, like:
- how do they work, off the normal turn lever? If I have normal indicators added to the car, will I need a seperate switch for these trafficators?
- What am I missing in the guts of the pillar? I am going to assume some type of motor and the physical arm assembly, anything else?
- I imagine these things will be next to impossible to come by, any advice on where to start looking for a set? Are all years the same or do I need to specify a year when looking?
Any other details on these things would be appreciated, I really am interested in trying to get these functional (long term, car is a project) and would appreciate any help. If these are not available anywhere then I will look at the next option - restoring the current pillar lights.
Thanks.
