I wonder how many people know ... and how many cars do it that if you
leave the indicator indicating right (or left etc) with the ignition
off and lights on side, you just get the single light front and rear
on the right? So two 5W lamps (plus side repeaters) instead of 4
(traditionally).

My 1971 Cortina III did that.


It tended to be a function on German cars - or those designed in Germany.

Looking at my SD1, the indicator switch uses the same body as one for
export with that parking light function - but with the needed contacts etc
missing. And a different wiring loom.
