Claim Text:
1. A system for implementing strobing of existing vehicle hazard lights comprising: an interface to a vehicle wiring harness configured to receive input to an existing vehicle flasher module; and a strobing circuit that responds to an activation signal from the vehicle wiring harness that is indicative of a hazard flasher deployment event by producing an electrical output through the interface to the vehicle wiring harness that causes a strobing of existing vehicle hazard lamps; wherein the strobing effect on each of the existing vehicle hazard lamps has a cycle that is perceptibly faster than a cycle of existing vehicle signal lights; and wherein a user signals a hazard flasher deployment by an existing vehicle hazard flasher switch inside the vehicle; and wherein the strobing circuit accepts the activation signal, which would otherwise be input to the existing vehicle flasher module to activate a non-strobing hazard flasher deployment of the existing vehicle hazard lamps; and wherein the strobing circuit produces the electrical output to create a strobing effect of the existing vehicle hazard lamps in place of what would otherwise be output by the existing vehicle flasher module to the existing vehicle hazard lamps producing the non-strobing hazard flashing of the existing vehicle lamps.
