Buy a 5V flashing LED with a plastic slip case (about $1-2); buy a 5V 
voltage regulator (about $1-2); take the cover off your unused slot 
below the defog switch and drill a hole, slide the LED in there, looks 
nice and lovely; expose the 12V power wire from the flasher switch, wrap 
a wire around it, then cover with tape, run that wire to the input of the 
regulator, connect the output of the regulator to one leg of the LED; run 
the other leg of the LED with a wire to ground (any exposed metal part 
around the cluster); my god, you have a flashing LED. If you want to get 
a bit more fancy, you can also have a switch between LED and ground and 
turn the puppy off whenever you wish.
