Winken Blinken (and Nod) by Ian Boag
Is an American nursery rhyme that has nothing to do with vintage cars. I have a 1950’s vehicle (Citroen Traction) with semaphore trafficators. Trafficators with their little amber bulb are not easy for other road users to see. These days we all expect turn signals to flash. There are several ways to convert a trafficator to achieve this. Replacing the festoon bulb with a modern flashing LED is very effective and dead easy. The photo shows a normal festoon bulb from a trafficator, and a (plug-in) LED replacement. The LED unit is brighter and it blinks. Installation was a 5 minute job and now people know I am turning. The cost is GBP25(+postage) for a pair from (http://www.dynamoregulatorconversions.com/flashing-indicator-bulbsshop.php
