Wig Wag reverse lights
Is anyone familiar with how, or if it can even be done, to hook up a kit to the back-up lights to have them alternate flash?
I know there's info. for the headlights, but I've not seen much for the reverse lights. I can get strobe light kits, but it's too much for what I need. Just like to know if it could be done.
Thanks for your help.

I have Wig-Wag on my reverse lights. Matter a fact, I have lower auxilary lights as well and those are included in the Wig-Wag. (Basically, the top left and lower right flash at the same time, then the top right and lower left flash next).
I purchased my unit from SouthWesternPublicSafety. Something like that. I also have them wired to a 2nd switch so that I can turn them "on" so that I can have extra light in the rear for when I hook up a trailer at night time or am loading some stuff in to the trailer. Very nice.
Basically - the reverse lights work just as they always did before, but I added these two switches to the one Wig-Wag unit to make the effect.
My Wig-Wag unit works in one of three modes, pre-programmed by me. If there were just two lights, they would be like this...
LEFT - RIGHT - LEFT - RIGHT - REPEAT
LEFT LEFT - RIGHT RIGHT - LEFT LEFT - RIGHT RIGHT - BOTH BOTH - REPEAT (this is what mine is currently set to)
BOTH - BOTH - REPEAT (sorta like your hazards)

Let me know if you have any questions. The wiring diagrams are pretty straight forward, but if you leave them on for too long with the engine off they will run the battery down (probably most likely b/c I have 55 watt lights back there as well).
