Ok, guy's I have been in this line of work for along time now, and I dont know how to do this. I haven't really sat down with it that long so I gues to make it easyer I would like some help. now I am trying to do wig'wags"(alternateing headlight's) high's to low's. I drive a 97 honda accord and i guess i'll do them off the siren wire.what's getting me is the flashing relay cant seem to get anough resistance between the flasher and my relay that switchs from left to right.I would post a diagram but i dont know if it is illegal or not. any help would be great. thanx.

try putting a relay in front of the flasher the out to 2 more relays .. this also depends on the type of siren output your alarm has. maybe give a little more information.

what is this? When the alarm goes off your high beams sort of strobe? I'd be interested in seeing a wiring diagram or something for this. Sounds neat. Kind of like strobes only not.
