A bit new to this community. Hope to get some help.
I want to connect led strobes to the 4-way hazards so that the LED's light up when the 4-ways are engaged. I will mount a set in the rear and another under the grill. Is this easily doable? I am handy, but admittedly cautious about such things. Much prefer to do it right the first time.

Thanks, BG

So basically you want strobe lights to come on when your hazards are on? Why not just hook up strobes and have a seperate switch for them so u can turn them on anytime u want.

Won't the NYS Troopers take a dim view of this? They might even think you're trying to impersonate one of them.

maybe if he does red and blue.... emergency colors. Amber I think is ok.

it would be much simpler to get a strobe module and hook it up on a seperate switch but if you wanted to do it with the hazards youd have to find the power and ground wires wich i would assume you could pick up right of the hazards switch and tap into those but your lights are only going to flash like the hazzards do.

The orange strobes have their own controller. My idea, at risk of sounding naive, was that connecting strobe power to the 4way circuit would power them when the 4ways are turned on. Is this doable? If so, how do I recognize the correct wire. Is it a specific color?

my buddy had red and blue strobes on his turbo bug and the local cops were not very fond of it lol
