For those of you that have strobe kits, what kind do you have? How high is the wattage of the kit and the tubes? Also, how many tubes do you have and where did you install them (headlights, bumper lights, corner lights, tail lights, etc)? How hard of a wiring job was it, and your experience with the install if you did it yourself?



Sorry for all the questions, but this is something i've been wanting to do for a long time..

 

anyone?

 

is the point of strobes on a Maxima

 

attention *****.

 

well since im a volunteer firefighter i got strobes...but ne way i have a whelen 6 piece 90 watt kit. i have one in each headlight, one in each clearance light (i30 not maxima) and one in each outter tail light. i did the install myself all you really need is a 1 inch hole saw a hot glue gun and whatever you need to take out the lights to drill the holes. the wiring was a snap just alot of wires to run.

 

Fine... I'll just go crawl under my rock again...

 

basically....

seriously, i just always thought they looked cool; not everyone has them.

 

thanks for the useful reply Creative...where did you mount the power supply?

 

strobes are gay!!

 

Your

Strobes are hot.

 

skyline bumpers are gay too, cause everyone has one. y cant anyone just give the guy a straight answer. i mounted the power supply in my trunk butted up against the rear seat. i actually have my strobes hooked up to a pulse timer so when i hit the arm buttom they flash for like 2 seconds and when the alarm goes off my strobes do as well, along with an air horn and the siren. its a great theft deterent to be honest with u, most people dont pay attention to regular car alarms but with u got 6 police grade strobes flashing and everything goin nuts it draws attention.

 

hahaha yes that would be so sick...

 

that is why i did it, not to mention no1 i know around here has something like that.

 

thanks Creative , I know HarrisH has a similar setup with his alarm and the strobes...and btw that is hott. How did you run the wires from the headlights to the power supply? And how did you wire up the power supply itself?

 

What the??? How do you know my setup??

 

i have some strobes from a company called TOMAR industries, but i have no connector to fit it

 

my car was next to yours at the Jillian's meet...you kept arming the alarm for the group shot

we were talking about my scratches and how your paint wasn't stock KH3, remember?

 

 

of said meet...Pics in this thread and
One HIGH-RES pic

 

Maybe he wants to be a volunteer ambulance driver, only the maxima is the ambulance.

 

 

lol, nah not you! Cars w/ strobes are attention ******!

 

ehh oh well i like being an attention ***** i guess. its not like i cruise down the road with them flashing. basically the reason i got them was because i am a volunteer fire fighter i just hooked it up to my alarm becuase i have roughly 8k worth of stereo equipment in my car

 

whew!

CreativeDesignz - I think you have a legitimate use for strobes being a vol. firefighter...

 

Harris, how did you wire the strobes to work with the alarm?

 

u wire them to a pulse timer, which is hooked into the alarm.

 

What exactly is a pulse timer and what does it do?

 

some more questions...

In order to run the wire from the engine bay through the cabin, did you a drill a hole, or is there a factory one thats grommeted and big enough to fit all the wires?

 

a pulse timer is a timed relay that u can adjust how long the strobes stay on. i ran the wires through a hole in the fire wall which i drilled.
