Default Strobes in headlights

What is the easiest way to mount strobes in the headlights and reverse lights? For my work I am in the middle of roads sometimes and people are idiots. Flashers are not doing it. I want strobes in the headlights and tails, but dont know exactly how to mount them and where is the best place for the switch. Anyone have some installed already? Does it matter which battery I connect them to? I know whelen has good sets, price isnt really a big deciding factor. I really would like a kit. With power box, switch, and enough wire to stretch the length of the mega cab.


Basically i want ranger walker lights

Thats a pretty descent kit ,also check strobes and more and ebay ....
What you'll have to do with that kit is drill a 7/8" hole in the headlights and insert the u shaped bulb be sure to use RTV sealant to prevent water from getting in the headlights ...Then run the wires back to the power supply
Taillights are the same insert the bulb either into the back up area if you want white/or the tailights if you want red flashes

Try www.galls.com they have all kinds and colors. I had a set one time when I was on the fire dept. Box went under hood, switch in cab, wires to lights, and drill back of headlight or tailight wherever you want it and stick it in. they're pretty easy and really bright.

Yeah, the strobe headlamps do look pretty cool. And I like the strobes in the rear taillights as well.

HOWEVER, I must say this: Have you checked your local/state regulations on their use? Here in Nevada, if I wanted to put strobes on the Pierce Daddy Conveyance, I'd have to mount them to the front side marker lamps (nothing illegal about flashing amber lights) but strobing the headlamps is the same as having wigwags, and that is a major NO NO.For the back I'd have to also put some amber lamps under the bumper or I MIGHT be able to get away with strobing my reds in the back, but I don't think I'd want to take the chance and risk it.

If I did and lost, I'd end up living where I work. No thanks!!
