a while back i bought some strobe lights from Pilot at Autozone and put them on my 4 wheeler. well i sold it and cut off the strobes with like 2" of wire on them and i lost the instructions and their are 3 wires going comming from them. red, white, and black. does anyone have a clue what wire goes to what?

 

you need the control unit to amplify the signal to a much higher voltage. I'll check my kit i got from them 2morrow if i can find it. I think the red is positive and black is negative, and white is the signal, but i'm most likely completely wrong. I'll check it out for you tomorrow.

 

alright thanks. if anything ill just go back and buy a new kit so i have everything and splice these 2 strobes in with the ones from the kit and have 4 instead of 2. its only like $12

 

i don't know if the kit will be strong enough to run all four, i mean it probably will, but it won't be as bright obviously. Yea i do know if you don't have the control module for it then i don't know of a way to get them to operate as they are supposed to. They aren't like LEDs or any other kind of light device that you put power to it and it just works, the control module controls the flashing.

 

yea i check it out, i still believe red is positive, black is ground, and the white is the signal of some sort, but either way you need the control box to use them properly and to put enough power to them to make them work in the first place, so buying another kit is probably the best idea.

 

are they strobes or LED flashers, because this is a huge difference. Also, are they meant to be trailer lights? If so, white is ground.

 

true, anything is possible until he takes pics really, because if they are LEDs you don't need the control box i'm talking about and if you do have real Strobes, then you need a box

 

yea they are real strobes. no l.e.d. nor trailer lights or anything like that

 

yea, its not just plug and play with strobe lights. You will need the main control box to go along with them for them to function properly. Also, my guess is that one of those 3 wires is an optional synchronizing wire, probably the white one.
