strobe light positioning

right now, i have my strobes electric taped to the grill holes (duno wat you call em) thats right under the front Honda embelum. it works good, but its not bright enough. i really dont want to drill a hole into my headlights. is there some way i could wire them into the headlights without drilling? if not, is there some other position i could put it to make it brighter somehow?

this guy around here, he is a raver, with a GX eclipse, white, with green racing stripes, Rave body kit, rave stuff... anyway, he hooked up 5 white strobes onto his underbody, it looks SWEET, instead of a underglowing kit like a neon kit, his thing strobes, very cool when it's in motion, it's like having a strobe in ur room while it's all dark, and u wave ur hand, seems like it's appearing disappaearing...

yes the undercar strobe setup is AWESOME I had this on my s-10. One in the front one in the back and two in the middle, at night it was like lightning underneath my truck. Very cool [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

What type of strobes would you use under the car and where can you buy them? I think this would look sweet and different from everyones neons.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

My strobes were installed by taking out headlight bulbs and dropping the strobe bulbs in. The wire didn't interfere with screwing back in the headlight bulb.

I just put some strobes in place of my parking lights... perfect water tight fit and look by the way... and I was wondering what the best place to put wire into the car's cabin from the engine bay... Rather have the switch on the inside around the center console instead of taped next to the battery like it is now

another question... I was just out in the garage moving the strobes from the parking lights to the actual headlights. After finishing it all up, I figured that it wasn't too smart to have them and their wires a fraction of an inch away from the hot headlight bulbs. Anyone have advice on keeping them there or moving them back to replacing the parking lights?
thanks, andrew
