[Shotimes] product idea

You can buy a "backup beeper," a product that swaps into the socket for an 1157 or 3157 bulb, combining a halogen lamp with a
beeper, so that when you back up, you beep.

I'd like somebody to make a "beeper bulb" that would fit into a 168/194 slot.  This is the bulb used for several idiot lamps.  Maybe
an LED could be made to fit with a piezo buzzer.

For certain idiot lamps -- such as low oil, high temp -- I'd like not only for a dash indicator to light up, but also for something
to beep or buzz.  I have certain family members who would be more alerted to an engine crisis if the idiot lamp were accompanied by
beeping or buzzing.

FWIW, I cast this upon the waters.
