extended strobe light wires... now problems

In strobes you pretty much get what you pay for, there are no bargains. The cheap ones will have a very short life.

cheap ones, just seeing if I liked having strobes.

The wiring from the power box to the light was 24 - 28 guage, I couldn't read it. I extended the wires with about 8 feet of 22 guage wire. Now, the light that I extended wires works fine but the other bulb which I didn't extend doesn't flash all the time. I am wondering if having the wires extended draws too much power, keeping the other bulb from flashing all the time.

I would try it again w/out the extension, but I'd rather not cut the wires and reconnect them all over again.

Thanks,
Patrick

its not the wires....the wire going to the bulb lost connection part way....you must have yanked on it

but it does flash, it just isn't as often as the other one

try doing a quick yahoo search on

"whelen"
"shome"

i have both in my truck and they are great

whelen headlight flashers (kind of like strobes, they make you high and low beams flash back and forth. they are a lot cheaper too)

Shome Slim light (mine was $150) that is a LED flasher
