    Check out "strobes n more". The guy that does their youtube videos has a white 3rd gen tacoma all decked out in strobes.

    Their "tailgater" light goes between the bumper and tailgate and provides strobes and flood lights.

    This! I had these on another vehicle, with led turn signals its gonna catch attention. Should be the easiest way to be more noticable too, just remove stock flasher and insert this one.

    This guy is running extra signals in the front but you get the idea. I'm not sure how it will look with halogen signals though.

    I looked at the diode dynamics flashers, it only works if you dont have day time running lights according to their documentation.

    The white tail light flashers look good for work safety, I wouldn’t use red though.

    I believe if you’ve got a switch-pro you can make any light assigned to a switch strobe.

    Thanks for letting me know. Pretty sure they make at least one other model that will fit because I've seen it on YouTube somewhere.

    Another option I was looking at is buying a Baja Designs S2 Pro in yellow. It is small enough to fit in the area next to the license plate on the rear bumper. Then add a cheap strobe controller (maybe $40 delivered) like this one:

    https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...-me-solid-state-random-led-flasher/1744/4257/

    The Baja light would be powered from three sources, the reverse circuit, a switch near the inverter plug in the bed, and the strobe controller which would be wired to a CH4x4-type switch in the cab. This is a picture of @vicali 's install:

    I put way too much thought in to this, not really.
    How's about Whelen os, as raptor lights. Steady burn dimed for markers, and a flash pattern controller.

    For Friday a chrome Mars light mounted atop a black offroad bumper.

    You can set it to constant on, slow flash, or strobe. You can also set it to constant strobe or triple flash almost like a zig zag.

    I think they mean if your drl is also the turn signal light, like the 3rd gen sr5 or most 2nd gens. The trd's have a drl that is separated from the turn signal. I would email and ask for sure, they are usually really responsive with those.

    Yeah Ill have to email them. They dont list as working with the 16+ tacomas, but worth a shot because that relay is exactly what I need for my truck.

    I'm pretty sure the reason they wouldn't work is because the 3rd gen Tacoma doesn't have a turn signal relay.

    I emailed strobes n more to see what they recommend for me.

    I want my turn signals to do like what that relay lets them do. If I turn on my 4 ways, I want a wig wag double flash.
