For those who are now confused by "trafficators," these were the directional signals which were fitted to some British cars in the 1950s instead of flashing lights front and rear (assuming the car had signals at all).

The early VW Beetles had this feature as well.

Here's an example of one of the ones I make. This one has no ground wire because it's for a Polycarbonate Plastic signal. Not legal (I know) but IMHO better than the hacked one it had.

One or two layers of Scotch Super 33+, depending on use (hanging loose or running through a stand through two 90s, respectively) over 14, 12 or 10 AWG stranded wires, depending on which Handy Helper cuts the wire for me. My standard color code is Red/red light, Black/yellow light, Blue/green light, White/neutral, and a green ground of course (except in the case of poly lights.) This varies depending on the number of lights.

If you can read French, this is a great site too with the interesting signal aspects of the SNCF (French railways).

or just browse the colour options in use.

Enjoy,
