IMHO, very hard, this switch requires a mechanical ring mounted on the steering column for the self cancelling feature and there is a housing required for the mounting of the switch. i believe both of these are unique to the Yamaha golf carts.
The simple low cost solution is to add a beeper to the turn signals. This will cause a beeping sound when ever the turn signals are active. These are sold as kits for motorcycles for around $20. Wiring is very similar one wire from each turn signal to the beeper module and one wire to ground. This can also be done with 2 diodes (I use 1N4003) and a 5 to 24 VDC beeper.
