my latest mod

I hooked a Galls wig-wag flasher to my cab lights and corner lights. Ok this is about the most uneeded mod I can think of. I dont have a good reason for it other than I just like it. I can only justify it by saying i can use it when im escorting the tractors on the road, even then I know it is not legal. Just one of them things I just wanted to do. Here is a short video of what it looks like.

Looks like it would be good if you stopped on the raod to help someone and the escort thing. Rep points sent.

Where did you get this unit? Can you PM or email the installation instructions?

Same questions as 2 stroke man - How much? How difficult was it to do the install?

Adds a little extra eye candy if you are into sled pulling. Kids love the flashing lights.

I think its great as well!! I was thinking this would be good for snowplowing as well if you got the tails and maybe a midship light into it as well.

super easy to install. I already had my headliner out doing the camo. I bought a four wire trailer harness (notice the colors in the instructions brown,yellow,white,green) at walmart to extend it to my corner lights. best of all everything works normal when its not on. I may in the future try to figure out how to use my own switch instead of having that box mounted under my dash. Hide the box and run wires to some switches already in my dash. I may also run it to my reverse lights

I wonder if you could hook the FS039 into the emergency flasher switch on the steering column. That way, the FS039 box would be hidden and switched on, but no power would be applied until you pressed the emergency flasher switch.

I read the instructions. I'm curious how you wired in the cab lights. I don't know alot about wiring, but this is what I'm thinking you did. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

My truck has five cab lights, 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5. Did you run wire from the FS039 driver's side to lights 1, 3, 5 and passenger's side to lights 2, 4? Or something like that? How did you use the 4-wire trailer plug to extend to the corner lights?

Do you have (or could you provide) a schematic of your set up?
