How to Make Car Lights Flash

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.
