Default Finished my strobe light install..

Well guys I finished up my strobe light install on my 1997... All in all it went pretty well. I got 1 strobe in each headlight, 1 in each brake light, 1 in each reverse light, and 1 in each side of the 3rd brake light in the cargo lights... I will defently try to get either pics or a video of them up here either tonight or tomorrow. Now all I got to do is find some mud around where I live to go play in so I can get the truck dirty some

Where did you mount your power supply and how did you run your cables. I had a set in my 1500 and had it inside, but I hated making that large of a hole to run all the cables through.

I was thinking this time of buying a couple small hermetically sealed units and mounting outside (in the frame rails) and only running the trigger wires in the cab...

Pics?

Ill get pics when I go home... I ran the rears along the frame rail and theres 2 "plugs" in the rear of the cab I cut them and put the cables through and put the plugs back in... The fronts I ran under the hood and through the front door and into the cab.. The power supply is in the rear of the cab under the back seat
