Bell Industries (Sidney) Ltd has a much fancier arrangement that uses the cucaracha buzzer. But it's no good for me because I need something abrupt and instant-starting to catch my attention. By the time those melodious what-have-yous have sounded I'm already somewhere else. The one I finally put in per the above description works a treat. But it's so irritating I will have to rig a disabler for times when I *want* to leave the parking lights on.

And of course it's more elegant to wire it in properly. But I stared at that buzzer for four or five years and then leapt up and did it in ten minutes including cutting the little tabs of copper and soldering them on.
