Indicator - 18-0164-15-2 TYC

The indicator (turn signal repeater) - a light device located on the outside of the vehicle as a lateral flashing signal indicating the completion of a turn in a certain direction. The indicator duplicates the function of the main indicators by turning on the lamp, increasing traffic safety.

The direction indicator lights will tell the rest of the road users what you are about to swerve. The direction indicator is an important and integral part of any transport and passenger car as well. Moreover, if these devices are faulty, the driver endangers both his own life and the lives of the surrounding motorists and pedestrians.

The indicator construction

The design assumes the presence of a mechanical drive (which turns the system on or off) and a switch (connects the operating lamps and the current source). The direction TYC brand Indicator (you can buy it from car manufacturers or in specialized stores) flashes with a breaker (relay), which closes or opens the electrical circuit at regular intervals. Cars have different signaling systems. Some models have a triple flashing function (useful in lane changes). In many vehicles, a clicking sound or the like occurs when a signal is applied.
