Right now I was gonna only hook up the main lamp in my projectors but when I was at autozone today I seen a strobe kit that looked like it would fit the accent holes in my headlamps and thought about it but it's not nessacery to have it now. I just thought it would be fun to have for awhile. (Yes I know you can't have them on while driving) They're not expensive (only $10) and they come with different colour lights.
So, is it worth the effort? --------------------  CLOSED on 25 acres! -shop coming soon.... |

I could see it up in the clear corners on the side of the projector beam. But I wouldnt do it just because I dont think I could drill a hole in them and not wana cry.

I would place them in the actual accent holes. (yes, i would cry too if I had to drill a hole) This post has been edited by frosty: Nov 16, 2004 - 9:33 AM -------------------- CLOSED on 25 acres! -shop coming soon.... |

Here in Yakima you get big tickets for strobes, even if you have them on in a parking lot or at your house on the side of the road or something. I think it'd be cool to have them where your accent lights go, but only if they were hooked up to an alarm or something to blink every second when the car is armed or something.

I think it would be cool because you could just take it out if you didn't like it. I think Coomer has a good idea with hooking them up to your alarm so they blink

say no to flashy flashy... strobes just cause problems "cops and haters" (aka ppl with baseball bats). just dont do it unless its a show car and is IN a show.
