ok, i keep seeing these cars at car shows and in videos that have their directional/reverse/brake/and headlights flashing or strobing. it looks cool, and i want it. now iv looked around online, and streetglow has a headlight strobe kit but it says for composite headlights only. now my s-13 has the fixed beam so that wont work. but i dont care about the headlights. i just want the parking lighs and tail lights/reverse, and side markers. not the head lights. now how would i go about doing that? has anyone done this to their car? need some info.:help :help

This is a technical question? I think we need a dedicated rice forum for this. :chainsaw

Check http://www.whelen.com, they make/provide the stuff used to make the factory lights function as strobes for emergency vehicles.

Because it has no practical use and is illegal.

Some could say the same about the engine mods/swaps that are done.

Have to let people do what they want with their own car. I guess I'm being an enabler, by telling them where to find ino, sorry :(.

it's consider a rice question not because of the wiring but because you want to put up some disco alike light on your car.....

Come on man, obnoxious bright flashing lights that induce seizures in special people...thats rice. Ricers LIVE for annoying bright lights, strobes are like the ultimate lighting accessory for them.

ok well way to go guys, no one (besides rex) has posted a reply with any intent on answering my question or giving me any useful information. last time i checked this forum wasnt for bashing people's questions but for helping them.
