Wiring wig-wags..

[Tram]

Ok guys-

I've been contemplating wig-wags for years and finally bit the bullet and ordered up a module along with some new HID lights..

My question is this - I am currently running the taxi light and landing light on independent switches..

I'm thinking I'd like to keep this setup and just add in a switch for the wig-wags. That way, I can still control each light individually.

I'm far from an electrician, but I like to learn.

Anyone have any ideas how they'd wire this up?

Thanks

Jeff

B&C has a few wiring diagrams.
See the following PDF:

I used a slightly modified version of 'Page-2 in the PDF.

A friend is installing a system I designed and built for less than $20 and what he chose to use is a a DPDT Center off switch, On-Off-On. One position they're pulse, the other position they're on steady, and in the center they're off. Very simple, simpler than what I told him to use!

Jeff,

I can help you out with that.

I can get you something early next week.....

The solid state controller is a little different so the normal wiring diagrams don't work with it.

Jeff,
Take a look at this flasher. I have the same set up you are talking about and it works quite well.

We considered that, but I had read it had issues with HID's, so I picked up the solid state SoundOff unit others are using with HID's..
