How To Make Headlights Flash Alternately

• #1

Was driving home final night and got stuck backside an obstinant driver who was doing 55 in the left lane in a seventy mph speed zone...

This got me thinking nearly something. Have you ever seen the police cars that, in addition to flashing blue lights and a siren, also wink their headlights in an alternating left-right-left manner?

What modifications would I need to make in order to permit the headlights on my Jetta to flash on and off in this fashion?

I don't know if this borders on the illegal or non. I just want to exist able to flash my headlights and get the attention of otherwise clueless/obstinant left lane hogs so they get the hell out of everyones fashion.

Ideas anyone???

Jesus man, that'due south the last thing yous desire to exercise. I would recall that there are pretty severe consequences for imitating a police motorcar, and that's exactly what you lot are trying to practise. All-time bet is to become away from these clods. You can't change them so don't waste your time. Flash him once, wait a chip, then put your correct signal on and become around him when you are articulate to practice so, and go on an middle on him while your passing, some times they determine to move over but every bit you make your move. I become this all the time on the 401 and it's not worth getting all frustrated over. Bottom line is keep a cool head about it.

And ane other thing. Wink your lights at a safe distance, for some unexplained reason information technology tends to brand the commuter alee of you slam on his brakes.

Some people simply don't understand the Flash to Pass signal.

Do not do it! I'd rather a fellow board member not get shot someday.

Yeah, you guys are probably right...

I was only half serious, and was kind of putting out a feeler for what other people thought.

It would probably be more problem than what it's worth.

Thanks.

A guy I used to know with an MKIV VR6 had some fog lights that did the same alternating strobe calorie-free as police headlights. He was kind of a joker and did it for fun and probably used it backside people occasionally.. I call back it would be fun to have to mess effectually with unaware drivers and friends though and is probably illegal, but so once again then is speeding and NObody here Always does that... and it is not Nigh as dangerous as immitating a police machine.

However this is a TDI guild and as much as I dearest it, sometimes my young heed just doesn't concord with the older more conservative folks that are more often than not members. Just offer a different perspective. And don't worry about getting shot. All that torque should go you lot out of the way of a bullet, no problem.

Beloved Smart Guy, fashion to build a example to allow illegal vehicle mods. Speeding is illegal and we all practice it, so feel gratis to practise other illegal stuff. Please abound up fast as we share to same route system. Equally a old Fed, I wasn't kidding about being shot. Nobody likes a poser, some may hate them. Don't give a nut-chore a reason to follow y'all with a bullet*. (*Bullets are faster than a TDI).

Don't Always use a wig-wag healight system on a public road unless yous have an authorized emergency vehicle. If I think correctly, y'all can't even use a loftier beam in some other commuter'southward view.

I'm an old 31 yr old with a lowered VW. Being "conservative" has null to do with this topic...but a niggling common sense goes a long way.

Moderator and others, I repent for having to add another post under this topic, but non everyone has digested the concept of wig-wag headlights being a bad thought for the general public.

Well, I'thousand going dorsum to installing my blue and cerise zenon light bar on the roof of my car. It looks phat and should make people notice me and my car. I'g a speeder, therefore I'm entitled to exercise this. Do I accept to cut the G wire before wiring in the PA organization?

Besides, if you're gonna try to look like a cop, practise it right with i of those little carmine roof lights with a magnetized base, like Kojak (Television receiver Savalas). Remember, get some More cigarettes, tootsie pops, shave your head, and oral fissure "who loves ya, baby?" every bit you buzz by.

Just kidding. You can't go around impersonating cops.Better to learn more patience instead.
