Hey guys i'm brand new to the board. I have tried searching the forum and have not had much luck. I have 4 whelen tir3's( 2 blue 2 red) i'm mounting behind the grill and would like to sync them up to flash the x pattern. If anyone could guide me on how to wire them up properly it would be appreciated. I'm not sure if you have to connect all 4 sync wires or how or which phase the lights belong on...thanks again

1 connect all sync wires


2 place 2 of the lightheads on the same pattern that are diagonal from eachother


3 place the other 2 lightheads that are diagonal from eachother on the same pattern... then advance one pattern.


this should enable them to flash oppisate


1 2


3 4


1 and 4 should flash together


2 and 3 should flash together

set your lights to the pattern you want. set 2 to phase 1 and 2 to phase 2 see here (http://www.whelen.com/_AUTOMOTIVE/install/138/13838.pdf) to do that.


now install your lights in the color you want them to flash as such (below), wire the power and ground as usual, and connect all 4 sync wires together.


RED 1 2 BLUE


X


BLUE 2 1 RED or how ever your want the colors to be. Just follow the pattern with the 1's and 2's
