The factory way was connected to the turning lamps and they would only stay on for 5 seconds or so after the indicator was turned off, (enough time to turn a corner...) To be honest i don't think ELs in general ever came with the option of cornering lamps. I believe that they were only fitted on the NF/NL fairlanes. No worries

There were a few extra things VDO implemented in the clusters that weren't actually used by Ford. Funnily enough Fairlanes and LTDs actually have a totally different cluster too. |
