    I'm sure there is a right up on this but I'm having trouble finding it. I see lots of 3rd gen tacos with the strobes in headlamps and fog lamps. I been searching but not finding any. So asking all 3rd gen tacos owners where do you get these setups? The one I light the most is the fog and headlamp strobe back and forth. Thanks

    Unless you have a legit reason to have strobes, just no.

    Just get a switch pro. Flash,strobe ext modes to any light you have mounted. I use my rears when I happen to be pulled over on the freeway,changing a tire, helping another person with a fix a flat, I'd rather be seen than hit. Mind you these are clear not red,blue, anything of that color to mislead others https://youtu.be/rhk4rVRVVFk

    I would just go that route. Plus having a sp if you have alot of aux lighting and what not is a smart move
    Expensive but you'll have less clutter in your engine bay

    I just hope someone doesn’t have a strobe induced epileptic seizure while driving up on you while you are changing that tire. Wow those things are intense!

    Like? From what I understand the sp will make anything, everything you connect to it strobe,flash etc. Never heard of any specific brand not doing that function . Hell I'm running motorcycle aux light for ditch lights .

    They are bright for sure. But like I said, I would only run the back ones maybe the bumper bar if I was stranded, changing a tire etc. People just don't pay attention to hazard lights. Better to not get smoked by a car or semi.

    Can't tell you for certain. I've had rear Amber's not respond to rear Ambers. Almost like the sp was flashing quicker than the refresh rate of the LEDs

    Really?? Hmm never heard of that. Well I know that baja, diode dynamics, rigid all work well with sp strobe,flash modes, verified.

    Agreed, my light bar, ditch lights, halos and even raptors will strobe, but that one didn't.

    That's cool. I do like the feature. I have used it a few times to signal semis to switch lanes, and some asshat on the intestate with no lights on at 930pm sheesh

    Better check your state traffic regulations that you may need permit to use the flash or strobes.
    BC Canada where I live need permit for use it. Even marked construction vehicles.
