Have a seat an get your pen an paper, its back to school LOL j/k. Ok to my understanding this is how it goes. Legal disclaimer time : I by no means am an expert in this or claim to know it all. Hehe. Anyhow. Wig wags, I believe pretty much replace exsiting bulbs an only activate their lil action when a toggle switch is thrown. Whereas strobes are mounted in the headlight,tail light, turn signal, back up light, what have you, with the existing bulb as well. They are MUCH brighter than wig wags an last a lot longer. The power supply for them can be mounted under your seat as well to conceal its where abouts. Then just mount your toggle switch wherever yuo would want it. Strobes also have different "flash" patterns as well. Where wig wags are limited. My old strobes in my Dodge would flash four times a second alternating left to right. I had them in my head an tail lights, for FD use. I think you would be better off with strobes for quality reasons, ect. Yes they are ore expsensive compared to wig wags which I have seen for as low as $20. But a guy on the FD with me was replacing his about every 6 months. I had my Dodge for 3 years on the FD an never replaced the strobes. But with my current truck, it is wiser to just order new bulbs than use the old. Also if ya do go with strobes, use clear silicone to seal around them when installed to keep water out, ect. Just my $.02, hope it helps. Sorry for the long post.
