Question Hidden strobe lights questions

[notsombody]

Hey all

I bought a hidaway strobe light kit, but now I'm getting nervous about drilling through the expensive head/tail light assembly's. Has anybody had any positive or negative experiences when drilling these out?

If I chicken out, anybody know of any housings I can mount the strobes in?

Thanks.

I am not understanding what these are to be used for. Could you provide a website or explain?

Drink a liquid courage enhancement of your choice . Make your drill site marks on masking tape (helps prevent chipping), drill a 1/8" pilot hole, then use a [step drill bit] to get to the needed diameter, go slow.. dun deal.

Never have used any aux housings

they are exactly what they sound like- hidden strobes that get installed in the existing light housings.

i think that the user architect-builder has them on his truck.

Dave..

Like dp sez.. and like the NASCAR Pace Car lighting ? And almost all emergency vehicles have nowadayz ?

... but be careful, in some states, such as PA, the DMV laws prohibit adding additional lighting (sirens, whistles, etc) except for "authorized" vehicles and emergency/police vehicles. I think they can be cool and could help with visibility when broke down on the side of the road, but I'd consult your state DMV laws first... you don't want to attract the wrong kind of attention...

California is too, but I don't have any idea of Florida's laws.

So long as the strobes aren't red or blue, you're good to go in Florida. Most construction Super Duty trucks have the hidden strobes around here.
