I just picked up a 2006 Chevrolet Impala for one of the local departments and was wondering if there was a way to separate the ETHIMP0-06+ HLF and TLF as they both engage with the green/red wire.

Question 3: How can I separate the headlamp flashing from the rear lamp flashing?
Answer: The Impala and Tahoe are designed with an in-line connector in the forward lamp harness for connection of a flasher module, Option Code 6J7. The Impala flasher module is mounted at the inboard end of the right headlamp, and in the Tahoe, the module is mounted forward of the right-hand wheelhouse inner fender. When the flasher is ordered and installed, it is connected to the in-line connector and is activated by applying 12 volts to the blunt-cut dark green /red 18 awg wire located under the instrument panel. This wire is usually connected by the upfitter to an exterior emergency lamp controller.
When activated, the module flashes the high beams alternately and applies a ground to the BCM via pin F of the in-line connector. The ground signal causes the BCM to flash the stop lamps and backup lamps alternately. To separate the front and rear flashing functions, remove the blue / yellow wire from cavity F of the in-line connector. Connect a new wire of the same gage and color to the wire removed from cavity F and route it to an emergency lighting controller inside the passenger compartment. Connect to the controller so that it will provide a ground signal (Not 12 volts or the BCM may be damaged) to the desired position of the controller switching.

Depends. What kind of flasher is it? There are some simple plug and play flashers for civilian Impalas. All depends on the model of flasher.
