Though not in the videos,i do have amber lights as well,though they are not in working order and need to be rewired,with the exception of the plug & play mag mount i occasionally have on the roof.
Currently,i still find myself on the side of the road quite often,generally helping people with flats or out of gas when i come across them.
lights in first video were about 25 bucks from autozone. reverse light strobes were about 12,but id suggest the 30 dollar strobes for the rear instead of what i have,they have an alternating pattern.
I can't approve of this. The fact that you "did road service for a while" has no bearing on your current activities, nor on your necessity for strobes.
If you are on the side of the road quite often, then you should be using triangles or flares, not strobes meant for vehicles engaged in this professionally. This really does lead to "dilution of the emergency signal." Imagine if everybody had strobes, they'd be useless!
In addition, while I am not aware of the laws of your area, in many jurisdictions it is illegal to have strobes without a permit or professional justification, and is akin to misrepresentation as an emergency vehicle, which carries a very heavy penalty.
That said, it's your truck and you'll do what you want to it, but expect disapproval for installation of strobes in a non-professional, non-emergency vehicle.
