As the driver of your vehicle, you are in complete control. Of course, even the most upgraded vehicles can still have a few limitations to them that drivers need to work around.

Flashing your vehicle lights can be a useful strategy if you are trying to make sure that other drivers or pedestrians can see you, and they can also be used to convey a message or demonstrate authority. To achieve these effects, however, you will need a way to flash your headlights effectively.

In this article, we will explore the different ways you can flash your headlights and the easiest option for your vehicle.

Ways to Make Your Headlights Flash
These options for flashing your headlights can help you to send the right message.

Manual Flashing
Manually flashing your headlights is always going to be the most basic option if you are looking to create the appearance of emergency vehicle lights. Using the light controls next to your steering wheel, you can manually activate and deactivate your lights to create a flashing effect.

Although this approach may get the job done in a pinch, the fact is that this is a very limited approach. Your lights will only flash with you manually activating them, which can be tiring and difficult—especially if you are trying to do something else. You can technically create the visual appearance of emergency vehicle lights, but it won’t last, and you will be responsible for creating the rhythm yourself, which can be challenging.

Standard Warning Lights
Most modern vehicles are equipped with the ability to flash their lights on their own. This comes in the form of standard warning lights, which are usually a stock feature that can help you to communicate with other drivers. These lights are most commonly used by cars that are currently experiencing trouble on the road, carrying large items, or simply unable to operate at appropriate speed levels on the right side of the highway. To active them, you will just have to press a button. However, these lights are usually limited to only one or two lights and may not have the desired effect.

The Z-Flash
If you are looking for complete control over your headlights, look no further than the Z-Flash. This powerful device connects directly to your vehicle and allows you to gain complete control over most of your vehicle’s lights. With a simple controller, you can activate most of your vehicle’s external lights in several different patterns. One quick at-home installation gives you the ability to create highly visible and controlled emergency vehicle lights when you need them!

A vehicle has many incredible features, and one of the most underrated features of a car is often the lights. Although lights serve many base functions that allow you to communicate with other drivers, you might be surprised to learn how much you can actually do with emergency vehicle lights. In this article, we will explore how you can uncover the true power of your vehicle’s lights.

Giving Your Vehicle the Power of Flashing Lights—Here’s How It’s Done
Making your car lights flash is easy, especially when you have the right tools. Let’s explore how you can make your vehicle’s factory lights flash.

Can You Make Your Vehicle’s Factory Lights Flash?
Flashing lights and emergency vehicle lights are very helpful tools for personal, emergency, and professional use. You may not realize this, but you can absolutely make your vehicle’s factory lights flash if you want to.

Making your vehicle’s factory lights flash can be achieved in two ways—using standard stock hazard lighting or through the use of a third-party BCM flasher. The first is a simple option, and the second will offer you significantly enhanced levels of control.

Making Your Factory Lights Flash Using Hazard Lights
Using your factory lights to convey an emergency is a feature that all functional modern vehicles will include. You will generally have a red button or touchscreen icon inside of the vehicle that will allow you to activate the car’s stock vehicle hazard lights. This is a simple flashing light sequence that will turn your front and tail lights off and on during an emergency.

Giving Your Vehicle True Flashing Lights: The Z-Flash
Although hazard lights can be a helpful addition in a pinch, they lack the versatility of other flashing light options. Since hazard lights only activate a couple of lights, they are fairly limited, and they offer no control over the pattern of the lights.

Fortunately, you can use a BCM flasher to give you complete access to all of your vehicle’s lights, allowing you to convey more relevant information and making it much easier to see your vehicle. This is exactly what the Z-Flash Flasher was designed to do.

With the Z-Flash Flasher, you can give yourself complete control over your vehicle’s lights. This makes it very easy for you to initiate specific modes to send specific messages. Using a plug-and-play design, the Z-Flash Flasher can help you effortlessly give your vehicle highly visible emergency vehicle lights and professional lighting to support your every need.

When it is active, the Z-Flash can activate your taillights, fog lights, corner markers, and reverse lights using three individual flash patterns. Perfect for marking work trucks, signaling a hazard, or highlighting a work area, the Z-Flash allows you to give your vehicle the power of third-party flashing lights without adding new lights to the exterior of your vehicle.

Using what you already have, the Z-Flash Flasher gives you control over the full range of your vehicle’s lights.

Take Control of Your Car’s Factory Lights
Emergency vehicle lights allow you to communicate effectively with other drivers and the world around you, especially when you embrace their full potential. The Z-Flash BCM flasher is the perfect way to unleash the capabilities of your lights, making it possible for you to communicate and give your vehicle the appearance you want to see.
