What are the Wicked Auto Flasher Kits & how do they work?

The ONE and ONLY Wicked Warnings Auto Flasher Module! Beware of cheap copies, make sure your WAF is embossed with WICKED WARNINGS on it. The only module on the market with over 10 years of history and well over 100,000 pieces sold all around the world!

Wicked Warnings has been around since 2005 with stellar references and we have been using our WAF (Wicked Auto Flasher) module with zero reported vehicle failures since we designed it in 2006. There is no known risk to using any factory lighting as flashers that we are aware of. Of course, all your factory lights will always revert to factory function when the strobes are not being used. We have never had a warranty claim or dealer issue related to our Auto Flasher Module.

Many of our builds feature a combination of factory lighting as well as purpose-built emergency lights to create a more effective display, so we urge you to consider more than just factory strobe lighting on your build. We have many options available to supplement the factory lighting.

How does the Auto Flasher connect to my vehicle?

We have 3 connection methods used in our Wicked Auto Flasher kits. The way that we manipulate the factory lighting is through the wires. We DO NOT reprogram any of the computers, nor do we modify the BCM or OBD2 devices. Everything we do is easily reversible, and any number of individual kits can be combined onto a single switch if desired. There is no single kit to flash all factory lights, as we must retain circuit individuality AND redundancy in the system. This means unlike other systems, there is not 1 single flasher that can fail and leave you with nothing working. The following three methods are used to interface with the factory wires.

• Plug and Play: Our newest kits use a plug and play adapter solution for vehicle interface you install typically between the factory plugs on the headlights, tail lights, and other lights like the cab clearance lights. The other end of our harness needs just switched power to activate your flashing (typically provided by OEM auxiliary switches or an aftermarket switch). Please understand not ALL kits can have a plug and play adaptor, we publish all the options we have. Click here to see a video example of a Plug and Play Kit.
• Wire Swap NO CUT: This is our cut free solution and how most of the older generation kits were made. It really is just as easy as swapping a wire in a factory connector. Click here to watch a video showing the Wire Swap method. This method is also attractive to skilled installers who want to save money by avoiding plug and play adaptors. We will eventually be phasing this method out in favor of plug and play on all our kits.
• Wire Cut: In certain situations, the only way to get the access to manipulate the light is to cut a wire. Rest assured in any of our wire cut kits, we provide the detailed instructions on exactly what wire you are cutting and where. We also provide the needed connectors to make the installation reversible by simply unplugging the kit and reconnecting the factory wire with the connectors.

We hope this helps to answer any questions about our Auto Flasher Kits and hope you enjoy these products!
