Strobe Lights

Anyone have and good sources where I can purchase clear strobe lights for the corner lamps on my vehicle. I do a lot of double parking and hazard lights just dont cut it so I need to have a brighter light for people to see.



My local guy wanted over $400 for parts & labor, i thought that was a little high. Anyone have any other places.



Thanks

I would look into the legality of having strobe lights on. From what i've seen in my high school days, you get what you pay for with them. I know a couple of people who got cheap ones and rigged them up themself and they didn't look good or last to long. Some of the more serious guys I knew who were into car modifying, mainly looks had some really good strobes that they paid a pretty penny for. They looked really good for show, or impersonating a cop :o .

My one friend had a good set rigged up to his alarm so everytime he locked or unlocked his doors they would all light up instead of is parking light. Looked really cool.
 
You will get what you pay for MOST of the time I have seen many bad installs from companies who work on police cars and first reponse cars. Anyways not tring to pulg anyone directly I work with some one who does installs and does them right.(he has always been anal about these things)





specialtywarningsystems@yahoo.com is his E-mail he does work for everyone so E-mail him and see what he says(he is in Danbury CT)
 
I work with a guy that does it for a side job. He uses only Whelan products and his installs are awesome. In most States clear and yellow are legal, everything else needs a permit. They also make a unit for the rear end of cars called a backflash unit. It alternates brake and backup lights in a flash pattern. If I can find the link I'll post it.



Email me if you have any other questions: inthedetails@verizon.net

"When Strobes are operating, Do Not Look Directly at them" :work:



Kinda like Dunkin Donuts warning you their coffe is hot. :LOLOL
 
Thanks for the info. I just need to get them as my F150 is big for the NY streets and this people come pretty close when trying to pass me when I am double parked. So i will use the stobe with my hazards to hopefully slow them down

I have the same set up with the same effect... Blinding, they definately get the point across... Picked up the power supply and 4 bulbs with cables for about 200 on ebay a few years back. The hardest part when it comes to the install is running the cables... a full size truck like mine, the lengths (15') get stretched tight on 2 bulbs depending where you place the power supply. I've installed a bunch for friends and friends of friends... not too bad as long as you know basic car electronics (If you can put a car head unit in... you're all set)

Other than that, it's a matter of drilling 1" holes in the light housing and screwing them in



Hope this helps,

Tom :woot:
