Strob\\ module

Sorry for the typo in the thread title. Apparently no provision to fix it.
I've had a 25 inch white/amber strobe bar mounted inside of the rear window with suction cups, mainly for emergency or snow storm use. The suction cup thing doesn't seem to be working out even though I've tried a couple of different styles from Amazon. A day or less and I come out to find the bar just dangling by one or two cups out of the four. I've cleaned the glass with alcohol pads and then wiped down with microfiber cloth. Frustration is setting in.
I found an OBD module from Z Flash and wondered if anyone else has used this particular brand. Speed Turtle also has a module but appears to have no interest in getting one out for Ford even though we're into the 3rd model year of this body.

I don't have it but I looked at the videos on YouTube. I think it might work OK if you have all LED's but the pattern is so fast incandescent don't really have time to come on all the way. Nice idea but they need to slow down the pattern.

I've long since changed every bulb in the truck to LED so that shouldn't be an issue for me.
Wicked Warnings has some things, but they're talking $145 just for a mirror module if you have factory spots on them. The Z Flash is currently $175 for a module that activates many lights on the truck.

I agree, I have all Whelen on my truck, the quality is very nice.

As stated it's fairly limited use for me. My volunteer firefighter days are long behind me and I don't need "pro" gear. I also have no desire to cut and splice into any factory wiring or spend hundreds upon hundreds.
I've owned some Whelen stuff in the past. It also happened to be purchased from Sirennet. If you want to be a cheerleader for them that's your business. I asked about one specific product and if anyone had experience with it. Whelen and professional emergency lighting was not it.
