Thanks Lanner. I can make easily such an adapter box with a few transistors. But I would rather just replace the relay with an electronic one. I think I found the answer, it is the Hella 4DB 003 750-71, 10 bucks and less work.

Not to hijack the thread, but how do you connect the wires for the EP35 relay (3 terminal) in place of the stock relay (4 terminal)? I just took a quick look under bonnet and at the pic of the EP35 and noticed it was 1 short of the factory relay.

What are your 4 wires connected to? What year?

I'd bet that one goes to the fuse block, one to ground, and then the other goes to the dash light AND the turn switch.
That's how I wire early cars.

69 Type1, and mine dash has separate indicators for each direction. I wonder if that makes a difference.
