strobe lights ?

[Pemerling]

ive seen people talking about strobe lights on thier headlights and tailights. how much would it cost to do the front? or all around ? and how exactly are they installed. ?

It all depends on how crazy you go. For just one light in each of the 4 corners you'll be looking at about 300 or so. It maybe less if you go with a lesser kit, but I'm not sure the results.

As for the instal, you'll need to drill a small holes inside of the light housing, and put the lights there. Then the lights would need to be wired to a power supply. It needs to be a supply made for strobes and is almost the most expensive part of the kit. For a good one you may pay upto 200. This is what determins the type of flash you get. Look around on galls.com to get ideas.

I've seen strobes available in jcwhitney....but, they seem really poor quality....Check with http://www.galls.com They're expensive, but they use em in squads and they can last!

I was looking at jcwhitney....I wasn't too pleased. The only ones that will work with the tail lights are used a small box that taps into your STOCK lights. This will send and kill power to the lights over and over. It isn't good for the lights by no means. It's like turning on a light switch over and over.....it will kill the lights quicker. A power supply however causes the lights to flash differently....how....I'm not sure. I do know though that just the fact that using another set of lights is better though. I'd rather burn up a set of aux. lights than the stock lights. I'll look into how a power supply works and get back to you if I can.

I searched and couldn't find anything....I know they're in the catalog...I've seen em....I think it's approx 30 bucks for 2 bulbs and they also have the street glow controler available for 70 dollars or so.
