Seen, that makes more sense.

actually flashing the lights are not what opens the door
There is a small transmitter that you connect to the headlight wires that will energize the transmitter on your car / motorcycle

It comes with a receiver / garage door opener unit that you mount inside the garage

so when you flash your lights, it will transmit like a regular opener.
I have mine hooked to a recessed waterproof switch on the bike

the lights dont open the door

my only problem was when I had a HID light, it would vary the voltage enough when I started the bike that it would activate the door. that is why I moved it to a switch
