The repeater lamps are situated in the upper part of the main instrument unit and show when the direction indicators are on.

The lamps are powered by the main instrument unit and are grounded internally by the main instrument unit. DICE sends continuous bus information on the status of DIRECTION INDICATORS RIGHT and DIRECTION INDICATORS LEFT, unit ON/OFF.

On receiving DIRECTION INDICATORS ON, the control module grounds the output of the lamp in question which then lights up.

Example 

If the LH direction indicators are activated, DICE will change the status of the information DIRECTION INDICATORS LEFT ON/OFF at the same time as the direction indicator lamps are lit. In this way, the main instrument unit control module can synchronize the flashing of the repeater lamps with the direction indicator lamps.

The SID also activates the TIC-TAC sound at the same time as the lamps flash.

The function is the same for the RH direction indicators.
