Chrysler Solid State 7-Pattern Isolated Headlight Flasher
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of the most technically advanced true 100%
Solid State Selectable Pattern Headlight Flasher System in the market today. Add to it our
never ending commitment to quality, when properly installed this new Flasher System will
provide you with years of dependable trouble free service.
Operating Specifications:
• Compatible with both 2 and 4 headlight systems with isolated high beam wires
• 10-16 VDC Input
• Output: 9.5A per output
55 Watt Load on each output
• High-Beam Override - Disables flasher when high-beams are activated
• Less than 10mA standby current
Mounting:
The enclosed headlight flasher has been designed to be water resistant. However, to ensure
years of trouble free operation of the flasher system, it should be mounted in a location that is
protected from direct water spray and high temperatures.
Electrical Connections:
GREEN: Connect to reliable ground, preferably close to ground post of battery.
BLUE: Locate the wire that supplies power to the passenger side high beam. Cut the
wire and connect the flasher’s blue wire to the cut wire end that goes back to the
high beam headlight.
ORANGE: Connect the flasher’s orange wire to the cut wire end from the passenger side
that goes back to the vehicle’s high beam switch.
YELLOW: Locate the wire that supplies power to the driver side high beam. Cut the wire
and connect the flasher’s yellow wire to the cut wire end that goes back to the
high beam headlight.
GREY: Connect the flasher’s grey wire to the cut wire end from the driver side that goes
back to the vehicle’s high beam switch.
WHITE: Connect to a +10-16VDC power source capable of providing 15 Amps.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A CIRCUIT BREAKER, FUSIBLE LINK,
OR SLOW BLOW TYPE FUSE!!
RED: Connect to a powered switch through a user supplied 1 amp fuse.
BLACK: (OPTIONAL Connection): If an “Automatic Nighttime Flasher disable” is required
(check with state and municipal regulations) simply ‘T’ or tap this wire into the
parking / marker light wire. This feature will disable the flasher whenever the
parking marker lights are turned ON.
Flash Pattern Selection:
To change the pattern, momentarily
touch and release the Red/Black
wire to ground. The pattern will
change each time Red/Black wire is
touched to ground
Final System Check:
1. Verify Headlight Flasher
properly flashes
headlights when Flash
Enable switch is activated.
2. With the Headlight Flasher
ON, activate the High
beams and verify that the
flasher de-activates and
that both high beam
headlights turn ON
steady.
3. If “Automatic Nighttime Flasher
disable” is hooked up (Black
wire), test it by activating the
headlight flasher, then turning
ON the parking/marker lights.
Verify that the Flasher is
automatically disabled.

This warranty shall not apply to any flasher which has been altered, such that in the manufacturer's judgment, the
performance or reliability has been affected, or if any damage has resulted from abnormal use or service. This warranty
does not apply to defect or damage occurring as a result of disaster, accident, abuse, misuse, lightning, power surges, or

This product requires the proper installation of the Night-Time Cutoff circuit.
This circuit is controlled by the black wire exiting the Flasher. The black wire
must be wired according to the installation drawing and instructions. Failure to
do so may result in head damage to the vehicle’s headlamp housings at the
owner’s expense. The Headlamp Flasher will ONLY operate when the
headlamps are switched to OFF position. Whenever the headlamps are
activated, the Flasher WILL NOT function. It is the responsibility of the installer
to make certain the vehicle operator is aware of this situation.
IMPORTANT
Flashing Headlight and Taillight Systems are intended for use on approved
vehicles ONLY. It is the responsibility of the user of these systems to insure
compliance to any Federal, State, or Municipal regulations that may apply.
