After a couple of minor roadside breakdowns, I came to the conclusion that I'd really like some hazard lights. I looked at the work and cost of putting in the OEM or dealer option versions and sought a more economical, and easier solution. I purchased a set of concealed strobes from amazon, and installed them into my rear tail light housings. I then installed an under dash switch along side of the KC spot light switch and ran power straight to the battery, so they would be available even when the ignition was off. I REALLY like the end result. Interesting enough, I also found that the inside of my tail lights was painted white, so I hit them with some aluminum paint. All in all, it works great. See what you think. I've also attached an MP4 video of them in the dark. The red momentary button on the switch panel allows me to cycle through the different flasher modes. This set also includes the ability to synchronize the strobes, which I wired in, so they both blink in sync.

 

That's pretty cool BlueOval.

Just a thing I've found about painting the housing/reflector. I've used chrome tape, silver, "aluminum" and "chrome" paints, and probably a few other things I've forgotten. But for me at least, the best coating to give an even reflective light coming through the lens, is a plain old bright white. Basically a refreshed version of what you found in yours.
If you can find a white paint with a high percentage of titanium dioxide (I think that's the actual white pigment in paint), it's most reflective and that's worked best. And in reverse of what you'd expect intuitively, a matte finish is often better than a satin or gloss finish. In fact, matte white is what Ford used to spritz into the old metal reflectors.
They saved a lot of money by not covering the entire reflector in some cases, but coating the whole thing like you did seems to work best. Yours look to have been almost fully covered from Ford. Just long since faded out and worn down. My '71 was just a couple of spots around the bulb.

Great to see the flasher kits. Glad you got yours retrofitted. Was always happy that my Bronco already had them from the factory. Kind of got spoiled with newer vehicles, so my old ones seemed lacking for not having 4-way emergency flashers.

Did bumps not all come with 4 ways? My 70 has them

 

The ones I have had all came with Hazards, that does not mean they all did though.

 

I’m pretty sure they did not.
Trucks typically got regulated items later than passenger cars, and I don’t think they were even mandatory on passenger cars until something like 68 or 69. And at that point, especially for trucks, many of them were add-ons that you found in a panel under the dash.
That big red plastic switch!

 

My 67 f100 has emergency flashers with a toggle switch in the glove box. The truck was made in Canada for the US market, if that has any bearing on the question.
