LED flasher relays and switchback bulbs, and all should work.

Re: need help switchback signal lights

Ok , so I'm forced to ask this one question ;

Where I live , the police have a thing about anyone having anything that looks even remotely like "wig wag" headlights , like they have . Now I realize this is one side only , during turn signal use , but what of 4 way "emergency" flashers ? Isn't that going to alternate both headlights with both front turn signals ? If so , and an officer ever sees you driving with the 4 ways on , Here they call that "impersonating an officer" and the fines are huge .

Could build a Synchronized front parking/turn light and side marker relay, to have them in sync.
