New Cab Lights
I was wondering if anyone had a good idea,on the Atomic LED cab lights.
I am going to buy cab lights ,so i checked them out and the price is right and they give you a free flasher with your order.I was just wondering if anyone has them or if anyone knows about them?

I run LED's in my cab lights and was thinking about wiring an LED flasher through a relay to activate a strobing pattern through the cab lights. I've done this wiring for my Recon 3rd brake light with GREAT results. I'm currently running two 4-head strobe boxes and a windshield LED as well.
Here's a vid of the 3rd brake light mod. It's direct sunlight so it doesn't appear to be very bright - but it is. And, with everything wired through relays, when I shut off the rear strobes - the brake/cargo functions return to stock operation. This is what I want tp apply to my cab lights.

Why Not?
Really, mostly for snow plowing but for towing of construction equipment to places requiring warning lights too.

I have strobes/wig-wags in all of my trucks that I have owned with no issues at all. I used them for when working with emergency personnel and working with a fellow church members tree service. In TN, you MUST have emergency style lights on a vehicle working off highway and freeway areas. The factory flashers WILL NOT cut it, ask me, I know....been told many times before installing the wig-wags. I believe if you have a good reason for using them, they are great and I believe in making it clean looking, to keep from taking away the nice look of the truck.

I was just refering to people who use the lights arbitrarily. They do that around my area anyway, and they are distracting. They also use blue, pink, green, etc. on the base of the windshield along with the traditional "Night Rider" LEDs. They do all sorts of stupid stuff with the lights and even go as far as blacking out the headlights because it looks cool during the day only to hang driving lights for night use and they don't use headlights at night. These are mostly small import cars though.
As legitimate warning lights they're fine except for the white to the rear, in N.Y. anyway.
Oh, by the way, I'm certainly not inferring that any of you guys are using them that way. I didn't want it to sound that way.

These are not a kit to install cab lights. It is a kit to install LEDs in trucks with existing cab lights. This is why they say no drilling required.
