Well, since I've been reading some posts about the Pepboy's strobe lights, I decided to buy them and test them out. It's the kind of strobes that have a tube strobe light, relay, and a switch. $12.99 each.

1.) They flash 2 times in a second at regular paces.
2.) You can't control the speed.
3.) The brightness of the flash is not retina burning.
4.) I'm returning them ASAP!

Final Word: These strobes aren't bad for people who can't afford strobe lights and have mild mods on their car. In my opinion, I think these strobes are a POS and I could smash them with a baseball bat for all I care.. they will probably burn out within 6 months, they are not very bright (although they are brighter than some other strobes I've seen), and they ONLY HAVE SINGLE FLASHES!!! I only want triple flash strobe lights... nothing else. I'll stick with my original Xenon strobes for now...

they r junk and not bright...... the seco alarm ones come close but they dont double or triple flash

 

what do you do with the strobes??

 

I installed the strobes in my clear corner lenses, headlights, and rear turn signals. So when I'm at a car show I turn the strobes on and hope the judges like what they see

 

ive been trying to find a pretty good strobe for a reasonable price. no way im paying over $60 for one pair of strobes. anyone know of any decent ones for around this price? i saw apc makes some, bought after i bought their clear corner lenses im a little leary of the quality of apc products.

 

I recently bought Hyper Industries adjustable strobe lights. It comes with 2 strobes, a speed controller, and colored tubes. They worked for 2 seconds and then blew out. What a POS! They cost $30. I just bought them to see if they were any good. Now I know the answer.

 

i had those ones too...i got them off a groupbuy...they are horrible...

 

well i payed 100 for my strobes but they work great.....came with two bulbes, transformer and control box....i can control the speed and how i want them to flash(chase,at the same time,alternate)....plus you can add 2 more bulbs to the controller. for now i have only 2 blue ones hooked up in my headlights but soon im also gonna but some in my corners

 

I have a set of strobes very similar to yours but I hate them because they have single flashes.

 

This thread is starting to bring back memories of me wanting to put strobes in the taillights and cornering lamps of my car(Similar to a cop car's). After getting a quote from a shop in Chicago for $220 (including strobes, relays and installation), I said #$@!%^&* that. I know for a fact they have to drill a 1" hole in the lights so that the bulbs can be installed and install a relay somewhere on the car.

Personally, I would not get the PepBoys Strobes for the reasons you just mentioned.
