Off the wall: "Street Sweeper" flasher info neede

Post by 007 »

Looking for info on a company and/or headlight flasher by the name of "Street Sweeper". It would have been used in California back in the late 80's and early 90's.

I think that was a Sound-Off flasher sold thru Galls. IIRC, it required you to cut the wire between L&R headlights. This is from memory, so:
*TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK*
Does this sound familiar?
white= B+
red= switched 12v
black= ground
green= ground or marker light for night-time cut off
blue= L headlight & highbeam switch
yellow= R headlight

This isn't a mainstream retail flasher...it's first use I'm aware of was in the early 80's (1981-1982ish), long before Galls was selling the junk they sell now.

So it was when they were selling the junk they sold then?

Couldn't resist.

Apologies, it wasn't Sound-Off, it's "Approved Technology,Inc". I can't find them on the internet, but here is my flasher: Image
