Warning lights

Hey everyone,
Id like to add "construction warning lights" to my truck. Have a crew cab 8' box with a tool box contractor cap on the bed. Looking for something like you see road crews have, grill lights/roof bar(not huge)/and would need separate lights on the back of cap as it's a couple inches over cab height so a roof light won't be seen. Would like to activate with one of the upfitter switches.

Post a picture, so we can get a better idea of what your base is.

Depends on how much you want to spend and how much bling you want. I have a nice led magnetic mount that I use for plowing; take it off when the plow is off. Very visible. Has something like 30 flash patterns.

Backed up to my equipment trailer ( the wrong way). I've thought about highjacking the aux wire going through the trailer plug to also put a couple yellow flashers on the rear of the trailer.

Put some small LED's on the trailer and power them from the warning flasher.
Or, a separate circuit.

I use this one on motorcycles and it puts out a lot of light.
