A signal device for indicating a U-turn of a motor vehicle mounted on the vehicle for movement between an extended position above the hood of the vehicle and a stored position beneath the hood. The signal device includes a housing mounted on top of a rack in meshing engagement with a pinion drivingly connected to a reversible electric motor. The signal device is supported by a U-shaped bracket which may be attached to the hood of the automobile by tack welds and is supported solely by the relatively thin sheet metal of the hood. The housing has an inverted U-shaped window to expose a bulb mounted in a socket within the interior of the housing covered by a colored lens. When the bulb is activated, the lens will transmit light through the window to indicate to oncoming motorists that the vehicle operator intends to execute a turn. When retracted the top of the housing is flush with the sheet metal hood.
