Stupid but I have left my side lights on more often than I'd like to admit - I don't want to fit an OBC I like my analogue clock, but is there a good sounding BMW or other recommended "Bonger" I can fit to remind my dim brain that I need to turn the bloody things off when I open the door?

Don't really want a crummy buzzer sound - something softer -

any thoughts??

OBC gong is self contained, and can be used without the OBC. E30 gong only gives a single sound, but ones from later models have two sockets, and the second socket gives a repeating gong.

Just looked on ebay myself, and I reckon most of them will do the job, if you can work out the wiring connections. Ideally, you needs the plugs and a short length of the wiring to be included.
