Strobe lights

Yo i need to know if there is a way that i can hook up my strobe light so that it always on even when my car is off. I don't have a alarm to connect it too but i heard that there was a source that was alays on that i could slice the wires too without killing my battery. Does any one know how i can hook up the strobe lights to be one continuously even when my car is off without a alarm. I am talking bout the lights that go on the windshield

Sounds like you mean a blinking LED meant to simulate an alarm indicator..

If this is the case any always on positive source in your fuse box will be adequate and your battery won't drain down for quite awhile just running a simple LED.

Sorry there weren't any YO's in my post i just don't have it in me.

Oh ok thank you. That is what i was looking for and yes it is the lights that look like the night rider. Right now my main reason for using it is because i park in parking garages a lot for work and i don't have a alarm on my car so hopefully this will make it seem like that i have one. Thank you. Also does this positive source in my fuse box have a fuse in it or is it something that i can just hook the wires directly up to, to make it work.

Actually it would be alot easier to just add a cheap alarm, the blinking lights make people tap on your car to see if there's a reaction.

A cheap alarm is $50 and you have more security than a fake armed LED.

To be honest all whenever people see blinking lights on a car it just brings attention to the car even more. You are probably drawing more attention to your car than normal. Just get an alarm if you want peace of mind.
