ABSTRACT:
A vehicle direction indicator system is designed to alert surrounding drivers of the intentions of the vehicle operator to continue in a forward direction. The indicator system has a plurality of indicator light end points and each end point is powered by the vehicle's electrical system and includes a housing, a light source holder and a lens attached to the front portion of the housing, and a vibration feedback element to indicate to the driver when the signal is activated. The end points may be positioned in various locations such as the grill, spoiler, side markers and the like and may simultaneously emit a color when the vehicle driver actuates the indicator system within the vehicle. The system is preferably mounted onto the front portion of the vehicle and is capable of signaling to other drivers at a four way intersection an intention to continue in a straight direction.
