A single up firing 5mm led on each side of lightbar really isn't flashy enough, so i did this...

Mounted a set of led rotators that have 4 light modes. Fast rotate, slow rotate, double flash, strobe.

Found out 'Wiggly Eyes' are the answer to my clear ditch light lenses!

Circuit to go more flashy.

The 470 ohm resistors out goes to red led, added a 100 ohm set for the white led.

Hack servo, attach a diode at motor output and connect. Epic fail.

Get a "2 ch remote switch", hook THAT up. Like an absolute boss.

Gotta add some other remote circuits:
. Box corners / grill / aft wall. Alternating flash circuit. Sw ch.
. Rotators in lightbar.. 4 modes, Need y-harness a stick ch.
. Ditch lights. All sides together on Sw ch.

Normal car lighting control board - no penalty uses turn/burn channels. Gives headlight, taillight, brake, turnsignals, reverse, markers, and a few modes i don't even want.

Need to add holes for backup, rear turnsignal.
Front turnsignal needs two 3mm to give running & turn. Also painted the turnsignal lenses

That leaves 1 channel of my 6 for a siren if i can find one i like. Leaning toward an Evan Design police siren.

If i need more channels, i've gotta hack the FSI6 into the 10 ch it can be. Plus get a bigger rx
