Rich,
I assume you mean the Code 3 "hide-away" strobes that are designed for emergency vehicles.
If so, those require a seperate power supply which is what actually regulates the flash pattern. Some provide only one pattern while others have multiple different patterns.
Power supplies run anywhere from $120 to $350, and you can probably get one from wherever you ordered the strobes. If not, Galls (www.galls.com) is a good place to get all that kind of stuff.

Rich,
To make multiple patterns will take multiple switches. Your instructions should tell you which combination of power wires will make certain strobe patterns. You'll need to out a switch for each one of those wires. I was lazy and just picked one strobe pattern.
Nova makes a strobe power pack that will work with a switch. It will have an on/off switch and a rotary **** to change the pattern. They also have changing random patterns on some models. Anyway, they look really neat. Look at http://www.strobesnmore.com at their switches and maybe you'll get more ideas and will be able to wire up a switch like that.
