    that must be good when there is someone too slow in your lane at night

    they think it's a police and then move out of the way

    :dispoint: That's not cool. If anyone tried that crap on me and I realized it wasnt a real cop, I'd probably run them into a wall.

    Be careful with that stuff, could get you in trouble.

    I would like to retract my previous statement, I though about it for a while and realized it would be pretty cool to have, getting people out of you way on the highway, never have to wait for a red light. Pulling over you friends

    It's not for pulling people over. I'm not interested in getting any felonies.

    I was working to make my previous car a show car, so I got strobes, but I started having drivability problems with it, so I sold it and took the strobes out. Eventually I'll start showing this car once I get some more mods, so I put the strobes in just for shits.

    1SICKBNZ: I got them from http://www.strobesnmore.com They are Whelen CSP690
    I bought them over a year ago and they were $200 for my setup.

    Installation involves mounting the strobe controller (which as you can see from the pictures, it is mounted in the trunk on the left side where the Bose amp is normally mounted. I then had to run 4 wire sets two each of the farthest corners of the car. I pulled up the door sills and ran them through a hole in the firewall. They wires came out by the fuse box under the hood. They were then run to each corner pod. The rear ones just went behind some of the trunk carpeting to the rear corners. To mount the bulb, I had to drill 1 inch holes in the corner pods and the tail light. The rears were very difficult because the hole had to be perfect, otherwise the backup light bulbs would not work. The wires were then connected.

    The controls are mounted near the E-brake release handle. There are two black switches and one pushbutton. The switches independently turn on the front or the rear, and the button cycles through the patterns.

    Here are the installation pictures I took:

    Guys..Strobes are for show only, unless u are in lawenforcement..
    Using strobe to perten as a officer is sierious offence in many state jail time can go from 1-8 years...Plus wtf you wanna en danger other people's life on the freeway?!
    Saving yourself that 2-3 sec isn't helping you to get on with ur life any faster...think for others when you do something like this...

    If you only use for show...why the hell not?
    use it on the street just for fun?...well, you happen to do so on me, i will make sure your butt ended up in the jail cell.

    who ever said we use them for saving time? My freinds have them and they pull each other over just messing around, not strangers. Its kinda a joke and fun.

    First off, I'm not questioning anything. My post was to point out your disrespectful remarks to a fellow member.

    Secondly, if you do disagree...then post why you feel the way you do. Typically, when one states a positon, a reason why helps. For instance, if you said "I like strobes because ....." then fill in your reasons why. My PROBLEM with your post is that you attack another member without any reason, explanation, form of argument, etc. etc.

    To sum it all up, fine if you like strobes. Others do not an have posted their reason why. MBATF is involved with police enforcement, and that's why he feels so strongly about his position. Using it for some sort of advantage is downright stupid in my opinion. If you are using them for shows, than thats cool. Strobes are just not appropriate outside the show venue.

    I just do not think it's cool for you to disrepect another member.

    Hey man, I have nothing against you or any members on board as long as I have been ith bnzsport.com till now, its almost 4 year i think. And I just expressed my thoughts to teh public thats all.

    As i said, Strobe for show "YES" Strobe for just have fun on the street "NO"

    But just to let most people know, even using the light for fun on the road with friends. It still can be dangerous to teh pulice since People always knwo that when tehy see Strobe, then it means caution, or 911 so 50% of the time they panic and ended up doing something stupid, and plus tehy wouldn't know if you are just playing with your friends. I have seen my friend used teh stupid strobe on freeway before and ended up caused an 4 car crash. And one of the lady involved in teh crash lost a her 5 monthes old un-born twins becuz of it.

    1sickbnz: just let you know that i still like you no matter what they say about you. and man when i go to WC someday i will give you a holla.

    Denlasoul: Thank you for helping me to better explaination , but really I don't want to make evryone turn ugly faces becuz of my post.

    Shoot, I want to get a strobe setup for my car... Dang, that's cool! Need that action for shows

    Shoot Boomin, now I'm really pissed for not meeting up with you guys that night since it would have been awesome to check out your setup!

    So what's the difference between the 60 and 90 watt setups?

    90 watt are quite a bit brighter than the 60 watt ones. The nice thign about the 90 watt model is that there is a "low" level mode in case you don't want them at full brightness, in a show for example. 90 watt are very bright!
