A vehicle direction indicator control comprises a receiver for communication with a remote auxiliary module and a databus which transmits steering wheel position information from a steering wheel angle sensor, an input in communication with an inter-connection between a vehicle direction indicator light control and vehicle direction indicator lights, and an output for enabling operation of the vehicle indicator lights. An input signal from the auxiliary module activates operation of left or right turn indicator lights and operation of the lights is cancelled when the steering wheel angle position information indicates that the steering wheel has returned to a position appropriate to cancel the lights. There is provided also apparatus comprising the aforedescribed control module and an auxiliary module for location remote from the control module and having a user interface operable to cause the auxiliary module to communicate with the control module for operation of direction indicator lights.
