Installed a Signal Minder today to cancel my signal lights as I'm prone to forget they are on. Odd thing about them is, after the signal is automatically cut off, and the next time you hit the turn signal, nothing happens......unless you first push the signal switch in to "cancel" first. Thus, you still have to remember to "cancel" at some point before you can get the signal light to work again. Not sure theres much advantage to this. Aslo hooked up the brake feature so that when the brake is on, the signals keep working, so that if you are sitting at a stop light the signals won't cancel out on you. They have a setting for 10, 20, or 30 blinks before canceling.
Intend to call or email the company about the above to see what they have to say.
And they were a real doozy to install! I had a professor that teaches electronics helping me; we started about 9am, finished at 3:30pm with an hour for lunch.
I think if there were some way to install really bright turn signal indicator lights, that would be a better option. Some years ago I had a BMW R80 and I found some small hallogen lights for the indicators; boy, that sure worked nice. However to get to the ones on the 400 you have to take nearly the whole front end (plastics), including windshield, off in order to pull the panel out.
