Hi Burnsey,
 
Sidebars.  Where from/what make please!  I am hoping to eventually fit some, partly to hide an unsightly water tank.  (Van is a Holdsworth camper conversion)
 
'Pretend Alarm'  wiring.  I've read the above, but could you run through where to wire one of these up in a bit more detail please.  So it flashes with ignition off, and goes out when engine runs.
 
Thanks very much.
