Tobs, I like the Bosch hazard switch setup linked to in your other thread but have a couple of questions -- most likely due to me not being very familiar with European standards and nomenclature.

Do you have a number for the switch so I can see if it is available here? Is it just a switch with a lighted knob or is there other built in circuitry? If lighted or other circuitry, I assume it is LED and solid state so cannot work on cars with 6v or those with positive grounds or if just a switch, does it have a regular incandescent bulb?

On the circuit drawing are the numbers all DIN standard? If so, I don't see 54 listed on the 2003 chart I have so is that a function of the Bosch switch only or is my chart incomplete or out of date?

Is the box and wiring into it at the top of your drawing the stock turn signal switch? If so that would seem to indicate the Bosch part is just spliced in with a minor rerouting. Is the flasher shown an extra only for the hazard function or is it the original? If original what did you use to replace the thermal type which is generally very load sensitive and unable to properly operate all bulbs at once.

Are the items 15 a DIN designation meaning power is from original wiring (not shown on the drawing) and the line connecting them means they both come from that switched supply or is it a tie point and the power to the flasher is coming from the other direction or thru the BLS which I assume stands for brake light switch?
