Adding another turn signal switch?

Does anyone know where I could tap in and add a second turn signal switch? I've got a three-way switch I wish to install. All I'm looking to do is tap 2 wires.

-Thanks

Well... when I drive I have my left hand on the wheel at 12 o'clock and my right hand is on or near my bass control and other various switches. It would be nice to just use my right hand to flip a switch than to move my left hand.

I would mess around with the "Hazard" switch some. It has sooo many wires running to that I bet you can tap either direction from independantly from there. Easy to get to and probably little risk of hurting anything more than the seldom used Hazard button.

What ever you do, don't just go shorting pins and seeing what happens K.

I suppose I could just not signal, like some do on the road, that would be really lazy. At least I care enough to signal.

move the hand and look up from your switches when you change lanes.

I don't look at my switches when I drive... I just know where they are. Just as I don't look at the radio or anything else for that matter.... just the mirrors and the speedometer. Duh.

Sounds cool and all with your switches, but it comes down to being just lazy. How hard is it really to move your hand over and throw the lever up or down. Come on!

It's not a matter of being lazy... it's about being innovative. How many times do you see a person's signal turn on without moving their hand? It would be cool. (Not that it is going to blow minds or anything.)

Lazy is one of the last things I am.

i like the idea of having a second switch. even a momentary switch would work. wish i could tell you which wires to tap into.

hahaha

It would probably be more work though since you would have to flip it off manually.
