just use the boot beeper its much simpler and as said for the time its going be used...

What's simpler than swapping a reay one for one & putting a lamp in the dash?  :-/ A buzzer is the most annoying thing in the world!  ;)

TBH from inside the car I can barely hear mine with the radio on at a sensible level and conversation with SWMBO ::) ::) ::)

That said, I must get around to sorting the light on the dash as I like everything to work :y :y :y

Myonly gripe with the four terminal flasher is that it's noisier than the origninal 3 terminal (I've found my original now MarksDTM & it does only have 3  ;)) Hella says it's meant to be.  :-/

errr what's what wrong with your mirrors? what's the point in a led on the dash when there is a massive white burger van behind you?
i dont think you can get mirrors that will let you look at the rear of your trailer

There is no bulb fitted in dash as it leaves the factory. So unless somebody has put one in.... ;)
