Rear Amber Flasher/Strobe in Reverse Light

[orangepeel Member Find all posts View Profile Close orangepeel]

I am looking at installing a Rear Amber Flasher/Strobe in the rear of the vehicle (2018).

I am looking for something discrete to not take away from the external look of the vehicle, yet provide a little additional “visibility” when pulled over on the side of the road (day/night).

I have noticed that Red Fleet have some footage of amber flasher/strobe that appears to be installed in the reverse light location? - (Prado footage).

Has anyone explored this or have any installation details on the project?

I have a feeling that Hella and Narva may produce similar products (as alternative).

It appears that the flashers are the “hide away” style?

Seeking anyone’s input and thoughts - just thinking of discrete addition to the vehicle when I pulled up on the side of the road.

I'm not sure of your reasons.

I'm occasionally required to use an amber flashing light stuck to the roof with a magnetic base when on construction sites. Usually the hazard lights perform their duty as, well, hazard lights.

If you put supplementary amber flashing lights close to the hazard lights, you'd have to keep them synchronised with the hazards to be legal.

The roof mounted light is stand alone. Mine is fixed on a cross bar.

I am solely looking at additional rear mounted flashers, seperate to the hazards as the tasks do not require hazard lights to be illuminated.

Having them mounted in a seperate location to the rear indicators is the goal - possible let hidden or similar as there is not many locations on the rear of the vehicle to mount flashers. This idea was to keep the existing factory lights in place (keep it legal) but similar to the rear flashers as shown in Red Fleet (and others) videos
