Does This Make Sense?

I am installing a pair of split blue/white Vertex in my taillights to replace my reverse bulb. I cut out the inline flasher and am using the ULF44 flasher to control the lights now. My goal is to only have the blue flash and use the white as only reverse. Here is where it its not making sense.

So connecting the red to power and black to ground turns on the white. Connecting the red to power and green to ground turns on the blue.

What did I get wrong here? Has anyone ever done this before?

Those inline flashers are usually critical to the operation of the hide-a-way for voltage regulation purposes. The vertex cant be used in this manner. I also don't think they have the capability to do what you are wanting...

Its very possible that this will damage the vertex.

I have seen people do it before. That's why I was looking into it. Guess I need to get feneix cannons instead

highly doubt anyone has done it without eventually damaging the led heads. There are some vertex that are self contained as well and dont have the in line flasher.
