Turn signal or flashers, blinkers, indicators, winkers -- all 1200s have them. The Hazards (4-way warning flashers) are part of the turn signal circuit, although not equipped in some countries. Optional was the Passing Lamp -- a turn signal switch with built-in passing button at the end of the stalk, which flashes the high beams.

USA Flasher Units

T/S flasher unit and Hazards flasher unit look similar (both are two-prong flashers), but are different specification. The load varies: Hazard flasher activates all lights at once, while T/S flasher does one side at a time.

Terminals
X: battery
L: lamp

Candlepower: 32 [32CP]

Cycles per Minute: 80 to 90 C/M

In the orginal B110/B210/B310 fitting, the T/S flasher was a large 40mm diameter NILES unit, while Hazard used the smaller 32mm NILES unit.

Universal Flasher

Flasher for either T/S or Hazards. My Sunny Truck is using this common USA unit.

Electronic Flasher

An "electronic" flasher may be used to accomodate non-stock bulbs, but requires extra wiring.

By contrast, the original thermal flasher types only work with a specific number and wattage of bulbs.
