Re: car audible bulb failure warning
The best way of checking all lights is by looking at the car's reflection in shop windows. Obviously though, they have to fail at some point. Perhaps the answer is a dash warning light combined with a secondary bulb that lights when the first has failed.28-05-2017, 02:43 PM

I'll give that a try next time I'm in town. I'll begin a three point turn on the high street next to a convenient shop front (or maybe a bank!), then back up towards the plate glass window, to see whether my brake lights are working.
That should give the occupants a bit of a fright!

I'd much prefer an audible voice recording...a bit like "Warning, vehicle reversing" but "Danger, t**t at the wheel"
Incidentally it is easy to check the lights on my Mondeo, they all flash when I take the alarm off and unlock it.

I think a bank would be best.
