				One of my friends just got a 2002 Buick LaSabre and wants me to do the lights for him.  My main concern with this vehicle is wig-wags.  It has DRL's and automatic headlights.  I haven't started poking with a meter yet because I am afraid of what I will find.  Has anyone here ever put wig-wags on this car??

				White strobes are not an option.  Although the "hideaway halogens" are which I might have to use.

				You can do it.
My part time department uses the Buick Century for detective cars - they have DRL's, auto headlights and all have high beam flashers.
They are a relay driven flasher, as you can hear the clicking when activated.  They are either Whelen or Sound Off.

				I did one for the chief of the PD I do work for. I used a UHF2150A flasher and a SPDT relay. Works like a champ.

				Much Easier than the Subaru Matt

				Just get a wigwag system for cars with DRLs and you will be fine.
Crown Vics have Auto Lamp too and there are no compatibility issues with them.

				I use a standard alternating flasher and 4 relays - TOTALLY disconnect the factory wiring and put a constant ground and a flashed hot to the lights.  Works GREAT!  Done it for 3 people with this same exact car!
