Subject:Warning Lights Audible Buzzer

I know the subject came up like a year ago. A few of the smarter
electronics fellows were tossing ideas, that's all I recall; I don't
know if this idea was ever realized.

But -- something to fire off a piezo buzzer or klaxon if a warning light
comes on? At least the alternator lamp and the overheat lamp. Some
circuit with enough smarts to stay shut up when the bulbs are lit but
should be.

Was that thing ever worked out?

And while I'm at it -- isn't the '84 supposed to have a buzzer for when
the headlights are on but the engine isn't? Who sells that thing and
where does it go? I think I have an empty socket near the fusebox.
