If something old school is being brought back, make it a foot operated high beam button on the floor!!!!!

Fans have been 'clamoring' for the hood mounted turn signals? This is the first i have seen or read anything about the 'hood mounted turn signals'. I like them in a way but, i don't like them in a way

I think he means clutching at the same time you need to dim your highs if your high beam control was on the floor. But there's no difference than if you need to shift and work your high beams from the stalk.
How often does the occasion arise when you have to do both simultaneously?

My '65 Corvair has the foot operated dimmer switch and is also a manual transmission car. I have never had an issue with the dimmer switch while shifting gears.

Had an 84 Jeep CJ-7 with the dimmer on the floor, you won't hit it by accident. Or atleast, I never did. I've been told that some old Lincolns had a floor switch for the radio scan button that was a very rare thing. Dad said he loved convincing the girls from his HS that the car was haunted by ghosts. Ah the 70's!

I do however agree that the hood mounted turn signal is worthless.

What the hell, nothing happening around here lately anyway. Maybe getting banned might stir some up some action, lol.
Did you hear that car companies are going to start putting the dimmer switch back on the floor board instead of on the column?
Polacks keep getting their feet tangled up in the steering wheel.
Apologies to our Polish members.

The hood mounted signals are a retro feature that would have been much better suited and appropriate for the early S197's than the redesigned S550. Worse yet, it's one more thing to clean, and it disrupts the hood lines. As much as I love my '14 GT, the air extractors, though necessary, are dirt magnets and a pain to keep clean, as well as trapping wax, compounds and water spots. It takes me longer to detail my vents than it does to do the entire hood and fenders. I fear that it'll be too gimmicky, and perhaps even a driving distraction.
Ford is very quickly falling behind in the tech dept.

Hey they where great on the older Cadillac. I even like the little turn signal indicators above the rear view window so when you look in the mirror you could see that they where on. You know in Cadillac the signal device is really extra quite.
The Mustang planners are running out of things to market so the easy thing to do A peace of plastic and really ugly wheels.
