Why not ask me? LoL, I had them in the clearance lights, headlights, and fogs, I also have four more in the rear in all the clear portions of my taillights. I never tried putting them in the red areas, but they are so bright they probably look like red ambulance strobes.

I have a basic ShoMe 65watt kit w. 4 strobes. headlights and corners. They work well, and have been through 1 winter and lots of bad weather without any problem.

I let mine go for $200 because they come with 6 bulbs and I threw in my headlights as a freebie ;-)

Dave I just remembered, for the switches that adjust pattern and speed your going to need "momentary switches" I had forgotten what they were called. Can anyone elaborate on the wiring scheme of the momentary switches, my memory is a little foggy and I don't want to give the wrong instructions.

Arnaud,

No worries man!! I got all the wiring diagrams from Whelen's website. Just a quick question, where did you buy your push button switches from?

P.S.
When you gonna install that smaller pulley??

I have toggle switches for on/off & momentaries to adjust speed/pattern. The toggle switches I picked up at radio shack for barely nothing.

ok, i was wondering, is there a momentary switch, like a button u have to hold to strobe, and let go and it stops....now if u park ure car, u have a way to press th ebutton and twist and it stays down......hows that for a strobe idea? u cant accidentally leave em on and when u park u have to twist the button so it stays down and u strobe....

is there something similar out there?

im putting my strobes on....maybe a toggle switch and momentary in one circuit? i have no clue id like a switch like i just said above...

or even a switch u can slide a locking pin in so the button stays down and circuit stays closed

Yea momentary push button is to change patters but to turn them on and off you want a regular toggle type...
