i got those cheapie strobes, just to let you know..

" how did u get the headlight off to drill ... "

there are FOUR screws per headlight. if you open the hood, you can see 4 10mm bolts, two top, two bottom. you have to take that off. both sides, along with the front grill.

the front grill clips into the body, so besure to unclip it there..

" also how did u get the glasss of the headlight off ? did u pry it off??? "

NO.. i drilled from the bottom of the headlights UP, thru the casing with a 1/2" drill bit, then i flushed the inside out with pressurized air and alcohol. (alcohol is highly volatile, so it's easier to dry than water)

"and finally did u have to change any of the fuses ??? so tha u dont blow a fuse.. "

nope. just plugged it into the battery.

"the way my strobes came was ... 1 strobe 1 relay box 1 switch and then i bought 2 of them"

yes. it's ok. what you can do is put the two in PARALLEL circuit.

Strobe 1 & strobe 2 --> (switch, both lines) AND ground.
then one line from the switch to the (+) battery.

done.

email me if you still need help.
