Strobes?

I want to install strobes in my clearence lights. I got some strobes but i have to run wires and drill a hole into the clearence light and connect them i was asking if there are directions on installing them. I need some sort of info to finish this. Any info would be great. Thanks

My strobes are wired up to basicly, a remote controlled relay. Which is nice because I don't have to run a switch inside. My strobe lights are the U shaped ones. They each have their own box that has a speed ****, which are all the way up. All 4 of mine are wired to the same 12V output from my remote. If you are using a regular switch you do the same thing, run a 12V wire to one end of the switch and the lights to the other and ground the lights in the engine bay.

All of my wiring is hidden under my alarm siren.


This is what the strobes look like.

You need to drill holes in your clearance light and/or bumper lights. (I used a Roto-tool)Be sure to do this on the bottom.



The strobes have a built in lip to seal

But to help protect them I tape them im place.


You can see that there are strobes in the lights if you look close.

Result:


Sorry for not having more of the actual wiring but it's easy and what you do won't look the same as mine anyways.

sounds like maybe an extra strobe from whelen or somthing, you definatly need some kind of power box.

the U type are better because they are replaceable from radio shack and they give off a better reflection.
