I have 4 130w lights running off 2 different switches. The other day I was walking back to my truck after work, unlocked it with the key fob and thought it might look pretty slick if I could get my new lights to flash with my running and brake lights when I lock and unlock my truck. My first thought was no that won’t work, I tap into my driving lights and those bright puppies come on every time I turn my lights on. So my question is where can I tap into that will give those lights power when I lock and unlock my truck. And if so are there any relays or resistors that I need to use to make it work right. I’m somewhat knowledgeable in hooking this stuff up, I did my gauges on this truck(2 plus years and not a single problem) plus I have hooked up lights and gauges on old trucks of mine and friends as well. I thank yall for all the help.

You could find the signal wire for the factory alarm arm/disarm and hook a relay up to those wires.

Thanks CRXsi I was thinking something like that but Im not sure where they are dont have any wire diagrams. If anyone has any diagrams or knows where to look under the dash I can figure it out with my volt meter. thanks

Well I was telling a friend of mine about the idea and to see if he had any input and staight off he said that the wattage of my lights where to high to do this and that they would burn out fast after the repeated flashing from locking and unlocking the doors. He said the filements will get to hot and just give up after the repeated use. Its not like I have a phopia and lock and unlock my truck 28 time before I get in or leave, and I dont see how a 1 sec flash could damage it that fast, maybe I spent to much time in the sun and heat today and my brian is fried tonight but do you guys have any input? thanks
