Default Buzzer vs. Gong

What is the difference between the 'warning buzzer' (relay G8) and the gong (relay G16)? I'm hoping one of these tells me when I've left the parking lights on again.

Its a 1988 Turbo S (Silver Rose!) Japan-spec car.
If anyone has the part # for these that would be great, too.

Gong tells you. I have an early car, but think it's the same, although I don't think my car has ever buzzed at me...

i'm in the same boat. i was watching a vid another member posted and noticed a typical chime when the keys were in with the doors open, lights on, etc... that I've never heard in my car. It's kinda nice actually - except I also don't get the gong or buzzer when I leave the lights on (hard not to notice when they stick up though ). Is changing these two relays all their is to getting those back?

What? The lights are supposed to pop up? No wonder its so hard to drive at night!

Actually I was thinking of the parking lights.

I'm hoping replacing one of these relays is all we'll need to do to get that nice chime.

The chime relay has a bunch of holes in the top of it. Personally, I find it really annoying. I put 4 layers of electrical tape over the top of mine to quiet the damn thing down.
