I'd strongly suggest getting an independent warning light system, or use dedicated flashers and wiring setups from vendors like GinnWire or AllFleetSolutions (no affiliation to either). It's more work, but better some sweat installing them than sweating on the walk home after a malfunction in the brain controlling your vehicle.

This is my question. I would never get one but that's because our assigned cars have lights. But I am curious on how many BCM's/cars have "burned up" because of one of these. I see a LOT of people bash them with the generic catch all, "That's a great way to burn up your car!" but have never heard a real, first hand account of it happening.

Perhaps I'm just old school. You may install it and run it daily for years and never have an issue. I hope that's the case. I know someone who has one on their POV they use to respond to daytime calls and they've never had an issue. But I'm putting independent systems in mine.

There appears to be a huge difference between the 2.0 and 3.0 versions in how they connect to the truck. The 2.0 bein...

I don't think you read these comments you linked. Most of them are positive. Without a baseline of how many are out there, there can be no way to determine what these things may or may not impact. Say there are four failures out of a thousand units sold...that would be like four light bars from a major manufacturer, out of a thousand, getting moisture inside of them. And anyone that's been around knows four light bars out of a thousand getting moisture in them is a low number...Fully disabling? Not many to be honest.

That being said, here's the concern I would have, they are sending test signals to individual lights. Like you would do with dealer software to troubleshoot for an issue. But as far as the warnings about the flashing of the lights may shorten the lifespan of the bulbs... That warning has been on headlight flashers and tail light flashers since I can remember... Which goes back to the mid-80s...
I'm not going out and buying one. I just think anecdotal evidence is not actually evidence. Just like hearsay is not actual evidence.
