Hello. I'm assuming there is no way to flash the headlights since I have yet to see a video of one? Also, what is the easiest way to flash the taillights racetrack LEDs? what flasher to use, easiest way to find the wires, etc? thanks

Are the headlights HID or normal incandescent in a projector housing?

Either way, find the wire that controls the projector high beam cutoff shield, and put the flasher to that wire, giving it +12v will activate the high beam by lifting the shutter. I'm not sure why no one flashes high beams with bi-xenon projectors, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Now of course you'd also have to give +12v to the lamp itself for when the headlights aren't on.

@ERM is the resident expert here. I believe the problem is that the shutters aren't designed to hold up to that kind of (ab)use. I suspect their lifetime is probably only so many thousands of cycles between the low beam and high beam position.
