I'm restoring a 30's sedan that used to be a fire chief's car...the original siren is missing, and it has red lights set up on the A-pillars that were likely solid red, but we'd like to re-finish them in wig-wag form.  The car is 6V, and the gear will need to match that.  I'm not particular on what siren I want, since I don't know what was installed originally.  Let me see/hear what you've got.

6V Wig-Wags can be done using two relays one SPDT Relay and electronic flasher

Hook the highbeams to terminals 87 & 87a then flash the trigger to the relay. Supply power to the flasher and the relay from another relay.

Mouser Relay

Newark

There are a number of electronic 6V flashers any 2 terminal unit will work for this application.
