Can I add a flasher to the OEM lights?

I had my RTV at a public event as a traffic control and emergencyvehicle this past weekend. Very handy (and everyone admired it). I could have probably sold 5 RTV's right on the spot.</P>


I put an amber strobe on top of the roof which was a big help.</P>


Can I put a flasher unit in using the OEM lights (front and back) so I can make the headlights and/or tail lights flash? Can the OEM bulbs handle that or do I need to change the bulbs?</P>


Thoughts?</P>

I might be totally off on this, but I would think you would want a differnet bulb. I can't image all the cycling would be okay for the stock lights. You could get a pair of tractor 4-way lamps and mount them off the sides of your roof with a flasher. <A href="http://www.parts-express.com/">

That site is down or the link isn't right. Is it working for you?</P>


See attached pic. I have 4 lights across the top now (plus the amber strobe on the roof which isn't pictured) and have considered swapping a couple of them out for this. Thought I'd consider the OEM lights first since I want to do the taillights as well.</P>

Yea, that site is down. I remeber them posting that they would be down for maintenance today.

How does your RTV handle that electrical load? You have got to be pushing the limit.

I think I've exceeded the limit... I try to avoid running everything at once(as I've added 11 lights, stereo, 320w amp...[H]), especially if the RTV isn't running. I replaced the OEM battery with the biggest deep cycle marine battery I could fit. It helped tremendously.</P>


I've thought of putting in another battery with an isolator but haven't yet found the need or time to do so.</P>
