« on: December 30, 2018, 00:19:01 »
Has anyone have experience adding a taillight flasher system to a 230SL as a safety feature.  What manufacturer, methods etc? Merci

Seems like I remember some of the sedans and SLs of the late 60's, having a flasher wiring harness and switch, added at the factory. It was just plug and play with no modifications. I'll try to look into it a little further and get back to this thread.

I think there is quite a lot about it on the forum, if you do the search, e.g. "hazard lights".
