SSV Works Launches SWITCH Works Tango2 Turn-Signal Kits with Tail-Light Integration

OXNARD, CA (05.22.24) – SSV Works is proud to announce the launch of Tango2, a new universal turn-signal kit for off-road vehicles. Now available, Tango 2, part of the SWITCH Works line, is available in a vehicle specific configuration, for popular vehicles like the Polaris RZR Pro Series, Polaris RZR, Polaris Ranger, Can-Am X3, and Kawasaki KRX1000 and more. Tango2 is also offered in a universal configuration.

“We are proud to introduce Tango2 as a significant enhancement to our SWITCH Works line,” said Trevor Kaplan, CEO of SSV Works. “This kit represents a breakthrough in design and functionality by consolidating all control buttons into a single, all-in-one user-friendly controller that seamlessly fits into a rocker-switch location. No longer will users need to occupy multiple rocker locations for turn signals, hazards, and the horn.”

The Tango2 kit is engineered with a focus on simplicity and efficiency, streamlining the user experience with a consolidated control interface. This plug-&-play kit comes with a harness that utilities the taillight power harness, allowing for a seamless integration. No cutting, splicing harnesses required.

The kit is equipped with a versatile turn-signal button that offers multiple functions. By tapping the button once, the turn-signal is activated with an auto-cancelling feature. Holding the button for 2 seconds allows the turn-signal to remain on indefinitely. Additionally, tapping both turn-signals simultaneously activates the hazard feature for added safety.

An extra output is included for an optional license plate mount, available from SWITCH Works.

The Kit Includes:
• Controller w/Turn Signal, Hazard, and Horn Button
• Vehicle Specific Taillight Integration Harness
• Two (2) Front Amber LED Turn Signals
• Solid-State Brain Module
• Horn w/Bracket
• Plug-&-Play Wiring
