I personally found that not having the stalks just gives me a little more room to relax my fingers on the steering wheel without hitting anything and potentially causing some of the indicator issues stated in this thread. Even in advanced run groups I've seen people do entire laps with their signals on and not even realize it. I tend to give those people a wide berth as I feel I never know what their intentions are until I see them go through a few corners and stay on line...then I assume it's on accidentally and will work on the pass.

I simply deleted the turn signals all together. The headlights/taillights I moved to the stock fog light switch as my factory fog lights are long gone. One push of the button gives me headlights and tail markers. No need for high beams or markers only. For the wipers I moved the high speed wire to the stock cruise control switch (obviously no cruise control needed in racecar) and deleted the low speed and intermittent wipers. The only thing my wipers don't do is auto-park in the down location, but they move so slow even on high speed that timing hitting the switch so they are down correctly when in the paddock is no big deal. It took all of 5 minutes to do and I didn't bother looking at a wiring diagram to try to make the auto-park feature work since it was so easy to do. My windshield always gets Rain-X before a potentially wet weekend so the wipers only ever come on in a true downpour or if behind someone's spray. Once they are on I usually leave them on the whole rest of the stint unless I have time on a straight to cut them off. Rain-X takes care of all water on the windshield 90% of the time though. Some people I've run with deleted the wipers completely and rely solely on Rain-X. I'm not that brave...yet...
