Are strobe hide-a-ways really that much brighter than LED ones?

And you can get several of them synched from that one common switch/power source? That is wicked cool.

Even I could probably hook those up without too much bad language.

Yep one wire for power and then you hook all the synch wires together and its all done

Wow that's simple, so the white and yellow control flash patterns?

Yes on these lights its yellow to change the flash pattern and to sync them. And you hook one of the white wires to the power wire (the red one) if you want them to alternate (so one light flashes then the other one). If you want them to both flash at the same time then you do not use the white wire.

Yeah you can get 4 of these http://www.strobesnmore.com/Strobes-...ide-a-way.html

Just remember to get the same color led light as what you are putting it behind. So if it is going into a blinker that has a amber cover then you have to get a amber hideaway. (if its going in something with a clear cover you can get any color)

Ok awesome thanks for the help!

Now that's why I hang out here: I can learn something without breaking anything prior to the lesson sinking in.

Actually, I just saw that recently on some LED manufacturer's site, complete with illustrations of how the lens color affects the light wavelength, but seeing it here makes it official.
