• Does the Red Custer 4-LED # STRL4R Have More Than One Strobe Pattern?
  The Custer 4-LED Strobe Light or Running Light - 3-Wire Pigtail - Red # STRL4R has the ability to be used as a running light or a strobe.

You can use the Custer Multi-Function...

Since nothing will work without a ground you can start by presuming your white wire is ground and then connecting each of the others, red and black,...
