first of all you dont have to drill anything bro... go to PEP Boys and buy the strobes there. they cost $12.99 for one strobe and come in colors. i have two pair of them and they are bright as hell and lasted me so far a few months Then all you have to do is snake the strobe light into the headlight fixture and then put the headlight bulb back in carefully, its ok if its a tight fit going over the wires...MAKE SURE YOU FUSE THE POWER LEAD FOR THE LIGHTS!!!!
use atleast a 3amp fuse for them >>>>>

there you go no drillin required! GOODLUCK

what do you mean they lasted so far a few months?
do strobes have to be replaced after a certain amount of usage?
or are they supposed to last forever?

i've installed two sets of strobes into my car, and they work great.

one set, Hiper head light strobes, i drilled into the headlights.
i took out the unit, turned it UPSIDE DOWN and drilled. this way, no water would drip into the housing.

the rear strobes, i put INSIDE my rear taillights (take out the blub, and slide the strobes in.. these are the same strobes you can get at pepboys.

i ran a wire from inside the car (underneath the carpet, thru the trunk and along the side of the trunk, and put two strobe lights in parallel circuit, and wired it up.

works great.

these strobes won't die on u. pretty much gaurantee it..
unless you hit them or something, they're pretty reliable..

careful i wuld recomend u not drill into the housing. u'll get lil' shavings of plastic in there. i used a soldering iron to do my friends g20. ust melt a lil hole. if u dont' have one handy get a small thing fillips screwdriver and heat it up and work your way thru

it worked for me but might not work for u.
