A light horn?
 
I think it's more an AutoBahn thing, but I'm thinking of a light horn.
Any ideas?
It's to go on a '71 Ghia. I might add air horns too.

I had one on my bike once.
On the Autobahn if you want to past someone at 110 mph you flash your
lights. and I believe it's true in Mexico. If two cars are approaching
a narrow bridge , the first one to flash, get the right of way.
I just want to add a bit of Hello , I'm here. effect. Light travels
faster than sound. And a small car needs visibility.
Someone suggested I check out the wiring of a Mercedes. Apparently it's
stock on the Euro model.
I did check out the Chilton's VW wiring for the '71 and there is a horn
relay, so that's probably the source of power.

Righto. Probably be able to use the headlamp flasher switch off a later
model if yours hasnt got one. Mounting screw locations as far as I know are
the same.

Errr I think you're highly optimistic to think anyone can get a stock
air-cooled VW up to 110 m.p.h. even downhill with a tailwind...


Water? I don't need no stinking water!
