I was planning to add some lighting to my tractor. When i was at TSC yesterday i saw they had lights that have lenses on both sides, one red, one orange. I thought that would be perfect if i put one on the left fender and made it blink. So do i just need to add one of those old school cylindrical blinker units in the positive feed to make it work? Is there different sizes for varying loads? Whats the right way to do this?
Get the solid state 2 wire blinker. It will run LED's load independent, or incandescents. It just needs to be in series with the light and the switch.
Any two pin 12v flasher will work right? I used Ford ones on my Honda CB750.
For road use or entertaining the cows?

Road use. I was curious because i know how cars will blink super fast when a bulb burns out, so ifigured they must be rated for a certain amp load. A few nights ago a lady died just a couple miles up the road because she crashed into the back of a tractor. Rumor has it the tractor had lights, and she was impaired, but it was still a reminder about safety.
The solid state blinkers rated "for LED use" will be load independent, as I said above. They're like five bucks at any auto parts store.
