🛠️ Why the 160 Matters

The 160 is part of Signal‑Stat’s heavy‑duty flasher family:

  • 160 — Heavy‑duty 12V flasher (your unit)

  • 175 — Heavy‑duty, high‑load variant

  • 536 — Ideal‑equivalent heavy‑duty flasher

  • 552 — Standard heavy‑duty flasher used across automotive

The box listing 175 / 536 / 552 indicates full cross‑compatibility — meaning the 160 is a direct substitute for all of them.

Collectors value the 160 because:

  • It’s less common than 552‑series flashers

  • It’s tied to commercial/fleet history

  • Signal‑Stat packaging is highly recognizable

  • NOS boxed units are increasingly rare
