A hideaway is not a smaller version of something else. It's the light that lives in the bumper, behind the grille, or in the fender, and does its job without announcing the housing.
That is Pulse.
Redline Pulse is a dual-color hideaway warning module. Two inches square. Under an inch deep. Twelve LEDs, six and six, clear lens, the flasher in the head. Black snap-on flange in the box. One-inch hole for the wires. Then it disappears until the call.
$94. Four color pairs. No external ballast. No Doubt About It.
Seen when it flashes. Not before.
The corner of a POV still has to read. A grille opening, a bumper pocket, a tailgate recess: those are hideaway spots, and they are a different job from a surface module.
Surge bolts on where the housing is supposed to be visible. Spark is the flush sibling, a grommet and a 1-1/8-inch cutout. Pulse is the flange. Foam gasket. #6 screws. Snap the bezel on after the head is seated. A chrome bezel is sold separately if the truck wants to look finished instead of tactical.
Fitment already points Pulse at the concealed locations: behind the grille, in the bumper, on the tailgate, anywhere a small flange can live and a surface module cannot.
Who this is actually for
- The volunteer putting warning lights in the bumper and the grille, not on top of the paint.
- Anyone filling the corners of a POV, a chief SUV, or a light-duty rig so the signature is not one module doing the whole job.
- A rear or side mark that should vanish into the body until it's on.
- The person building a package one paycheck at a time, starting with the holes the truck already has.
- Anyone who zip-tied a module into a valance once and is done with that.

Wiring, without the mystery
The head is self-contained. No external flasher. No ballast box under the seat.
- Red wire: warning mode 1. Default is color 1. Fuse at 2A.
- White wire: warning mode 2. Default is color 2. Fuse at 2A.
- Red and white together: combined mode. Default is color 1 alternating with color 2. If everything is hot, this mode wins.
- Black: chassis ground.
- Yellow: pattern select and sync. Tie the yellows together. Set every head to the same pattern. Group 1 flashes together. Group 2 alternates.
A momentary tap of yellow to +12V steps to the next pattern. Three quick taps returns pattern 1. Patterns 13 through 21 stay dual color no matter the color mode. The single-color set includes a cruise and a steady. Read the manual before you pick a pattern your state treats as a steady burn.
Color mode is separate from the pattern. You can run color 1, color 2, color 1 alternating with 2, or color 2 alternating with 1. One hole. Two colors. You decide which one the intersection sees.
What the page will let you say
Print this. Do not dress it up.
- ECE R10
- IPX7
That is the cert stack. IPX7 is why this head can live low in a bumper. ECE R10 is the electrical-noise piece. It is not a printed SAE J595 Class 1 claim, and this post does not invent one.
It's also not a permission slip. Red and blue on a POV is a state problem, not a checkout problem. Amber / white is the pair that travels. If you don't know the statute, find out before you drill.
Install it like you plan to keep the truck
Use the foam in the box to mark the wire hole and the screw holes before you drill. One-inch pass for the wires. Deburr it. Seat the head through the foam. #6 sheet-metal screws. Snap the flange on once.
The manual is blunt about the flange: do not keep popping it off, or the fit gets loose. Mount it. Leave it.
Why not the $20 grille special
Because you've already bought one of those. Single color. A mystery flasher. A gasket that turns to chalk by August. It looks like a sponsored post, and it flashes like one.
Pulse is small on purpose. It's not cheap on purpose. Self-contained. Syncable with the next head you add. Dual color, so the same hole can run both colors or drop to one when the scene asks for it. Born in the bay. Not a boardroom. Ready on a Tuesday night if you own a drill and a fuse tap.
Looks like you take the POV seriously. Because you do.
Put it where a hideaway belongs
Pick the color your state won't ticket you for. Drill the one-inch hole. Fuse it at 2 amps. Sync the pair so they don't argue with each other. Then drive it past the station at dusk and see if the corner of the truck actually reads.
The Redline Pulse Hideaway Warning Light is live now at firetechlights.com/products/redline-pulse.
Pick a pair. Read the manual. Check the statute. Then put it in the bumper, the grille, or the fascia and leave it there.
