Wig wag headlights?
Anyone know if there is a Left and Right Hi-beam wires I can get to (without going to right behind the lamp)? Maybe nice and easy by the ABS controller? Or are they both off one wire? Gracias!

I imagine they are together, but if you really want go that route might I suggest a headlight relay kit. If you get a kit with four relays, it will isolate highs from lows and left from right.

usually there are wires for both left/right high/low coming from the column's wire harness. i just grabbed mine from behind the lamps as I have the wig-wag flasher installed under the hood. don't really wanna hear that click clack noise in the cab.

How did you get your meat hooks in there riggz? I don't think my paws will allow me to change the damn bulb if it blows!
Any idea the wire color codes for each side and where I can find them upstream?

Riggz,
Any more info on the product you used and some steps for the install would be appreciated. I'm a Red Cross Disaster guy....I've used mine truck for doing damage assessments locally and have always wanted to install the wig wags for disaster duty.

I can describe the process- it's getting to the back of the headlamps with enough room to make a connection is my problem!
1. Get a headlight flasher (Code 3, Whelan, Federal, etc.). It has the following connections;
A. High Beam- this is the High Beam from your truck (12v+ when you turn on your high beams), connect it to the port "Both" to turn on both at the same time.
B. Ground
C. Left High Beam- connect your left headlight High
D. Right High Beam- connect your right headlight High
E. On- 12v+ here activates the flasher. Some flashers may have multiple modes, so there might be more than one choice.
Run the "On" wire to whatever switch arrangement you use.
