I want to get strobes all through my car (side markers, headlights, tail lights) but I don't really know who makes the better quality strobes. I bought some from Autozone awhile back but they weren't very bright and they were kind of flimsy and now they don't even work. Also, I can't put strobes in the headlights because they're sealed beam headlights, so if anybody has suggestions about what to do about that? Thanks!

 

they sell the kind that the cops use on their cars on E-bay btu they cost ALOT like around $300 for a 4 stobe system. i'm going to be buying mine from there as soon as i have the money

 

buy a ***** (import enthusiast ) magazine and I'm sure you can find 4,000 different ads for them that may describe their brightness.

 

What I have found to be of greater concern that the brightness is the flash rate. Any strobe you find for like $10, is going to flash at maybe once per second, maybe slower. The only exception I've found thus far is the "rope light strobes" at walmart. It's like 3 strobes on a 6 foot rope that flash in different patterns. Other than that, check out www.streetglow.com or www.liteglow.com and look at their headlight strobe kits. You'll also need to get a strobe control module. Don't buy from their online stores, go to ebay or yahoo shopping or something like that.

 

ware could u even use those and not get pulled over? about as far as id go is getting a neon underglow kit i would think strobes would attract way to much attention to your self.

 

Two words, kill switch The way I look at it, it's just one of the 4 millions things I can have on my car but I can't use in public. I can have a big *** stereo, but I can't turn it up (but I still do), I can have my undercar lights, but I can't drive with them on (but i still do), etc., etc.

I have to agree with you tho, it is asking for trouble if you leave them on in a parking lot. I saw this guy one time at best buy with some POS honda accord but he had headlight strobes, so I noticed his car right away. If he didn't I wouldn't have given his car a second look. But I saw the strobes and thought, "hey I wonder what else he's done?". But as a typical "import enthusiast", the headlight strobes were about it.

I run my strobes under the nose, it's pretty cool cause the light jumps around in weird patterns under the front. It's just one more thing I use to **** off import guys. Man do they hate it when they realize you've got some good old American muscle under the hood AND you have all of their nifty toys.

 

I got a kit from Whelen 2 strobes, put them in the foglights....it's a tight fit but it works, haven't had a problem since. They cost me around $130, and they're bright as hell.

 

thats a NICE kit thats what i'm looking to buy :-D

 

When and how often do you use them?

I have 6 strobes, 1 wig wag in the fogs and another in the high beams, rear traffic backer brake lights and oh a police siren in my car.
Before the **** police start going crazy I install these things for a living and I get them for free. I don't crazy go with them though.
