Re: Fog and Reverse Strobes

Are you going to use a strobe kit that uses separate bulbs? If so? Yeah, it'll still work stock.

If you use a strobe controller that just lights the stock bulbs, the output will not be any kind of strobe effect & more like just a wig-wag lighting.

If your car is your daily driver you would probably be arrested for imitating a Police Officer.I would be careful about doing that,the police don't take that lightly.Your just asking for trouble if you do that.

Re: Fog and Reverse Strobes

I'll repeat what someone else already said. Be _VERY_ careful, even using them at shows. The law varies state to state, as well as province to province, but generally, even possession can show intent to impersonate. Having witnessed the fines and the outcome first-hand, you dont want ANY part of that.
