This is a familiar type of flasher, but with two bulbs working together, you have to try it. We installed the set, but the flashing pattern is somewhat irregular, so it is not the most beautiful effect. If visibility is all you want, though, it is a pretty good high-impact item. At only ¥1,800, that is understandable!
For 12 V DC only
Two bulbs flash alternately.

Only the blue side flashes here. It uses a bimetal bulb, so its flashing pattern is naturally not consistent.
Here it is flashing green. The two sides alternate, and sometimes flash together, making the car stand out.
The photos below show one side flashing by itself. It would be nice if the flashing were more regular…
Double flashing!
The easiest place to take power is from the tail-lamp wiring. This time we borrowed power from the small parking lamp; that is usually the simplest option.

Two types of light make your presence known! Stand out with your tail lamps!

Easy if you understand the wiring harness.
Is it difficult? How long to install? How many people will notice?
This applies to any part: clean off dirt before installing, or your new part may come loose and fall off.
About 15 minutes. It looks pretty good!

When applying double-sided tape, decide the exact position first. Before sticking it down, step back and ask a friend to check it; that helps avoid mistakes.

The image can be hard to read, but you can see the light reflected on the bumper. At night it is very easy to see.
Simple installation—stick-on type, for 12 V cars
Exactly the same as the standard flasher
Is it difficult? It is exactly like the standard flasher. How long does installation take? This one should be easy too.
That should make it just as easy to use…
This is another item in the “Hotaru” (firefly) family. The mechanism inside is a little different: instead of a plain bulb, it contains a built-in strobe. So it does not glow softly like a regular Hotaru; it flashes brightly. Which style is better is a matter of taste, but this type is quite good too.

It is lit!
