Turn Signal Click

Would anyone happen to know if an RX-8 Turn Signal click can be replaced by a modern ping?

Yes, it can be done. You would have to replace the relay under the dash with a solid state relay. Then you'd have to find some type of piezo buzzer to replace the click with.

Roger knows all! A Ping would be nice, but I'd rather have a Bing.

Thanks for the reply Roger. Would you happen to know a supplier that sells this relay as an aftermarket unit?

..........or, since Mazurfer re-injured his heel and can't drive his RX8 for awhile and you are both in Florida you can give him a ride in the passenger seat wherever he needs to go and he can go "Ping!........Ping!........Ping!"

Just another example of RX8club members helping eachother out.
