Mod for headlight flash

[Julian64]

Being a courteous sort of chap I often want to flash my headlights to allow oncoming cars passage.

Since driving the cerb, I am now acutely aware of the meaning of a slight tap to signal 'come on through I'm letting you out/in' and the 'Your a bastard' full beam on for 3-4 secs while I trying in vain to hit the button the right number of times while looking at the little blue light.

I find this rather frustrating and it keeps leading to a little miscomunication which I fear is eventually gonna find me facing down a vinne jones type.

Anyone know of a mod for this?

Don't know of a mod.
I do know what you mean though. Nice dark country lane full beam on, take your right hand off wheel and turn sharp corner, car coming and the panic starts as you can't find the button to switch it off as the wheel is still upside down!! AAhhhh.

Yep, done the same just after I got the car and ended up hitting the horn a few times.
Would be nice if the were glow in the dark or illuminated buttons.

Not so much finding it. The problem is that when the dipped is on. There is no easy way to flash main at someone without risking it being more than a quick flash.

I find switching the dipped beam off to side lights and then back on to dipped works. No risk of blinding them then!!

Somebody cut me up on an island the other day, to warn them, I thought I would sound the horn, by the time I'd eventually found the horn button, mid corner, I ended up almost ramming another ****ing vehicle.
The modification you require is called "A SPARE PAIR OF ARMS & A SECOND HEAD".
I'm going to tape the button up to stop me ever getting tempted to use it again.
