Claim 15:
16. A system for operating vehicle lighting comprising:
a microcontroller configured to control operation of a plurality of vehicle lights that are operative as left and right turn signals, the microcontroller being further configured to operate the plurality of lights as hazard flashers and as strobing lights in response to a single activation signal;
a signal light stalk inside the vehicle that provides input to the microcontroller to operate the plurality of vehicle lights as left or right turn signals;
a first manually activated hazard flasher switch inside the vehicle that provides input to the microcontroller to operate the plurality of vehicle lights as hazard flashers; and
a second manually activated strobe switch inside the vehicle that provides the single activation signal to the microcontroller to operate the plurality of vehicle lights as strobing lights;
wherein, when the microcontroller operates the plurality of lights as hazard flashers and as strobing lights in response to the single activation signal, the plurality of lights are cycled on and off repeatedly in response to the single signal at a frequency faster than a frequency of the lights when operated as hazard flashers.
