Correct spotlights and correct halogen lights for 86 DPS?

To the top on this one. Any advice on how the SHO-MEs were hooked up and controlled?

SHO-ME's should be controlled by a wig-wag system if you mean the halogen type lights.

They are Halogens, they went to strobes in '87 (aero-noses). Any idea what the correct brand/model of Wig-wag might be?

Straight up automotive flasher. I still have the original shifter bezel with the holes DPS drilled in it in my '83. Simple switches used in conjunction with the flashers.

Basically talking about the HD thermal flashers, 550 style...

...somewhere between 60 and 90 flashes per minute.

Here is my console Mike, if you've got the time. The two holes on the side I assume will be for the GE Mastr mic. The hole up front on the lower flat base that I'm not sure about, could that be the switch to run the lights? Is it just a metal toggle switch in your car, and where did they mount the flasher? There is one small hole at the back of the console, but it would be under the trim bezel so I'm not sure that it has any relevance. As always, your help is GREATLY appreciated!

And thank you for the flasher advice Greg and Mike. I'll start looking to source the correct one.

Found an actual SHO-Me unit which will do the trick and is a bit more reliable than just the thermal unit:

I got one for my deck lights on the ISP car.
