I have 4 strobe lights that i got from amazon that im trying to wire up with a sho me flasher module, trying to make them into an x pattern, but the lights arent working when there wired with the flasher, i suspect the lights flash modes are messing up the flasher.
Need help wiring lights

Those lights more than likely will not work how you want them to. They have a built in flasher that is controlling them already. IF they have a steady on pattern, put it on to that and then try your Sho Me flasher. I am doubtful that those lights have a steady on pattern though. If there is no steady on pattern, you will not get them to work with the Sho Me.
I took the time to read the description on those lights. First, I would cycle through the patterns on those lights and see if they have 2-phase patterns. Since they have a sync wire, I would imagine that they do. I would use the built in flasher in the lights instead of using the sho-me flasher. Find a pattern you like, and set the opposite corners to the second phase of the same pattern, and connect your sync wires. If that doesn’t work, the description says that these lights do have a steady pattern. You will need to set all your lights to steady, then hook the power wires up to your flasher. If you wire it this way, do not connect the sync wire.
If these $40 chinesium lights have 2 phase patterns I will be impressed. I'm leaning towards it is a mix of terrible split head patterns and standard single phase ones..
*points down at signature*
these lights won't interface with anything. They run on their own. Interoperability with cheap LEDs is nonexistent. If they even have a steady on mode I'd be surprised.

does anyone have a recommendation for blue grille lights that work with the sho me flasher or have 2 phase patterns that are also relatively cheap
I’ve never used any of these Chineseum lights so I really have no idea what works or not. To the OP, if you are looking for cheap, maybe look for some used name brand lights? Idk? How are Code 3 and Feniex these days? Cheap price? Cheap quality?
