Default 1978 Flasher Unit

Hi

Does anyone have a photo of the '78 flasher unit in it's location (behind the glovebox)? And being specific, the plug it goes into?

I'm planning on LED for the turn signals and so need a new flasher, but just need to know how simple the addition of an earth wire will be when the new one comes.

"Ta"!

That's about the best photo I could get as far as context. This is looking upward at an angle from the passenger side footwell. The white in the upper right is the lower edge of the right side of the dash. You can just see the end of the flasher there, just left of center underneath the glove box. Hope this helps.

Thanks! It looks a bit tight up there!

IIRC, there is a little extra length of wire so you can get ahold of the plug when you pop the flasher out of its clip.
