OK... Never enough lights!!! Now I want Wig Wags for my High beams, but trying to not reinvent the wheel. All of the "official" wig wags I have found are 12 Volt. To use them in a 24 Volt system I would have to incorporate relays and diodes since I still want to keep my high beams for whenever they are needed. I will make it work if I have to, but would rather use the KISS principle.

Any ideas?

Depending on the type of load, (2) 12 volt loads connected in series will work on 24 volts.
The series loads work as a voltage divider.

What's a wig wag?? Is the the thing that makes them flash? just use a turn signal flasher.

I could be wrong but I thought at one time, Soundoff in Hudsonville, Mi made 24V flashers.

Whats the KISS concept?

Keep it simple stupid

Wig wags are usually what you don't want to see in your rear view mirror... it is what alternately flashes the high beam (R+L) in the headlights in a patrol car or a fire truck... Friend just called to tell me that Truck-Lites makes a gizmo that should work... but I would still need to dissassociate the high beams from the alt. flasher... using diodes... there goes KISS!!!

Why not just use 2 Whelen hide-a-way strobes up front. Most of the older strobe packs were 12/24V

Got several Whelen packs... but still like the look of the wig wags... just humoring my inner child

If you look at the front of my truck the fire dept. added the two lights under the headlights and had them set up to wig wag.
