Featured Build: Plow Truck Strobe Lights Ford F350 XLT

Even though the snow has melted around our Wicked Warnings headquarters in Naperville, IL, plow season is still upon us. Last weeks’ record-setting low temperatures and the great deal of snow that fell throughout the Midwest has inspired our latest blog post. Today, we are featuring a recent plow truck strobe lights build.

In this build, we’re highlighting a Ford F350 XLT Model Plow Truck. We used a number of our Wicked Warnings plow truck strobe lights to keep this truck seen and safe on the road.

Watch the video below to see these plow truck strobe lights in action!

Forward-facing plow truck strobe lights

From the front, you can see the Dual 8-inch LED Kit within the grille. This set is usually only sold for a Lariat grille, though our team at Wicked Warnings customized the install for the non-lariat grille application. This build also features the Atomic LED Cab Clearance Lights on the roof and our Wicked Warnings Mirror Mod Kit. We used our LIN-6 LED strobe lights in the top of the grille, and our TIR-3 strobe lights by the front fog lights.

Four of the forward-facing LED strobe lights are activated by auxiliary switch number 5. Since this is a plow truck, we gave the owner the option to turn off the strobe lights in the front that might reflect off of snow or the plow.

LED strobe lights for side and rear warning

Along the side of this truck, our Wicked Warnings Thin-X in an amber-white combination is used within the F350 badge. You can also see the TIR-3’s within the fog lights that are used for both front and side warning. The TIR-3’s are synchronized with our LED HAW DUO in the tail lights. This gives a full picture of this vehicle’s length for traffic approaching from the side. The LED HAW DUO’s are used in both the cargo and tail lights and are synchronized in an X-pattern. The LED HAW DUO’s displayed in the rear of this truck also include our popular flood mode override feature.

Siren & speaker kit

For this particular build, we also included the Carson 100 Watt Siren & Speaker Kit. Watch until the end of the video to see how we configured all of the auxiliary switches for activating the siren, air horn, and the strobe lights on this plow truck.

Video Demonstration of Wire Swap Installation for Auto Flasher Kits - Molex Connector Pin Removal & Replacement

What are the Wicked Auto Flasher Kits & how do they work?

Wicked Warnings has been around since 2005 with stellar references and we have been using our WAF (Wicked Auto Flasher) module since early 2016 with zero reported vehicle failures. There is no known risk to using any factory lighting as flashers that we are aware of. Of course, all your factory lights will always revert to factory function when the strobes are not being used.

Many of our builds feature a combination of factory lighting as well as purpose-built emergency lights to create a more effective display, so we urge you to consider more than just factory strobe lighting on your build. We have many options available to supplement the factory lighting.

How does the Auto Flasher connect to my truck anyway?

We have 3 connection methods used in our WAF (Wicked Auto Flasher) kits. The way that we manipulate the factory lighting is through the wires. We DO NOT reprogram any of the computers. Everything we do is easily reversible, and any number of individual kits can be combined onto a single switch if desired. There is no single kit to flash all factory lights, as we must retain circuit individuality. The following three methods are used to interface with the factory wires.

  • Wire Cut: In certain lights, like the white cargo light by the third brake, the only way is to cut a single wire (at this time). We understand that some people are uncomfortable cutting wires and we are working hard to offer “cut-free” solutions as fast as we can. This is how some of the current website kits are sold. Sometimes, this is the only option to achieve the desired display.
  • Wire Swap NO CUT: This is by far our favorite solution and how most of the new generation kits will be made if possible. Wire Swap is how ALL the Headlight and Taillight kits are going to be made for the FORD and many GM trucks. We are working to update the current website options to this new “wire swap” kit and will continue noting any changes on the product online as they happen. It really is just as easy as swapping a wire. Again, the kits will have notes in the description stating which version they are. Click here to watch a video showing the Wire Swap method.
  • (NEW & COMING SOON) Plug N Play Extensions: Plug N Play extensions can be purchased for an extra cost. Please bear with us as these are all handmade and fairly difficult to source parts for. We have some availability and are waiting on some parts for others.

We hope this helps to answer any questions about our Auto Flasher Kits and hope you enjoy these products!
