Tail light Flasher

First I am a volunteer firefighter so I run flashing lights to emergency calls.

My question is I have a Sho-Me 27 Pattern LED Strobe Effect Flasher. Would it be possible to hook it up so it flashes my tails, reverse, third brake light, and cargo lights?

I was thinking this since I have all LED bulbs wouldn’t it be the same as hooking it to a standalone LED module.

Would I just wire it into the power wires for all of those functions? Or would it feed back into the system somehow?

I have a 2006 F-150

Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thanks,
Brian

Im thinking you either hook up a flasher relay with a switch to all the lights you want to flash, and someone correct me, but i think you can run all the wires on one relay. That OR you get a strobe kit to mount inside the headlight and taillight housins....

Volly representing! Station 32 out of Live Oak, FL!

As far as your question, there IS a way, but if I'm correct it involves a lot of wiring and a handful of diodes (to prevent backfeeding). I would honestly get an Arrow Head directional bar for the rear window or some TIR3 stand-alone heads to put in the back- they would get more attention than trying to manipulate common vehicle traffic lights.
