***Question about strobes***
In the 5.5 gen.....
is there any modification to the headlights other than removing that reflector cap? can a strobe bulb fit in the parking lights (replace them)?
I might be doing a 6 strobe setup (if these fit without much modification)
Highbeams, Parking/Clearance lights, and Corner Markers....
In a sequance of highbeam and corner marker, then parking light and on the other side opposite at the same time.

I would not risk putting them in the front and screwing up my headlights. I put mine in the rear. To answer your question the 90wat strobes will def not fit in the high beam or parking slight holes. You will need to drill.

I had my two park lights/corner lights removed to fit in 2 strobes in the front.. then i ended up taking if off when i got busted.. but im getting them back on again next week! I would risk putting strobes in the back... never know whos coming up to u from behind!

Hmm, I would do 4 in the taillights, with an alternating sequence (right brake-left signal, left brake-right signal) and the two high beams (Marco has those in his headlights, you should speak to him if you want to check it out).

I agree with you also soonerfan. You can't drive with strobe lights on a public road so why even bother. And even if you were in a private lot somewhere and had them on and a cop saw you, he would probably still write you up some kind of ticket or warning. But some laws vary from state to state so I would suggest check your local laws first or you could get busted for impersonating a police officer.

NYC is having a major crack down on cars with strobes , because as you all know why already. The dude that was killed by a police impersonater, where the guy was shot and killed. It was all over the news. So just be very very careful if you do this mod. Goodluck..

I did this mod to my max last summer. I did the whelen six bulb 90 watt kit. I Took the two clearance bulbs out of the headlight and drilled the holes bigger to fit the strobes. I also put two strobes in my fogs and two in my taillights. I did not want to lose my highbeams so I just took out the clearance light. No high beams=stupid idea 
. I also figured that I don't really have my fogs on a lot so why not take the bulb out and put a strobe in there.It looks really good with strobes in the head light and fogs because they alternate patterns. So yes it is possible with some modification.

, none of us are hating here. We are simply suggesting ideas to Polak for his own good. Polak has been on the org for a long time and has come a long way with his max for us to be hating on him, so relax.
