Flasher 101 (Things you should know)

We manufacture headlight and taillight flasher systems for many types of vehicles. Before you order a headlight flasher you need to know whether your vehicle is a GROUND SIDE or POSITIVE SIDE switched headlight system. To determine what your vehicle is check with your manufacture or see our Vehicle Compatibility List. You may also call our Technical Support Department at 1.800.338.7337 for guidance. Please have the Make, Model & Year of your vehicle available for quick assistance.

You will also need to know what type of lighting you want to use the flasher for such as LED or Halogen lights as we offer flashers for both lighting technologies.
