Need for our line of work but want red something discreet.

Fitted one of these .. you'll need to swap the fog light bulb for an LED ( and reverse lights if you want to use those )




Simple enough to fit .. but I also added a cheap remote to change the flash pattern

Also tested it with reverse lights

Does repeat pressing of the remote scroll through the various options?

Looks fab - but what do you use it for? Very Happy

It's the sort of thing I'd do just because I like the idea but really don't have any real reason to Laughing

Just make sure you don't accidentally turn them on when in lane 3 on the motorway - especially when that 3 series BMW won't get out of your way.... Whistle

Looks Thumbs Up

Just a note for those interested, flashing amber is all that is allowed on a vehicle on a public carriage way, except in some limited cases, see the RVL: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/made

So perhaps wire up to the indicators if you want to use it there. I don't know where / how flashing red is covered - as its a red light to the rear, so would on first inspection be covered by the RVL, but I don't believe that is the case and it has some limitation.

A summary is usefully provided; http://www.ukemergency.co.uk/blue-light-use/

I do like the look though!!

So do these use existing bulbs then?? Wasn't sure if you'd added the small hidden led flashers like these to the rear clusters?
