strobes, where to put them?

i have 2 extra street glow headlight strobes (xenon white) and was wondering where i should install them? i was thinking of inside the middle air vents but dont know if they are bright enough to get the effect throughout the whole car. then i thought maybe the taillights. i cant make up my mind, anyone have any suggestions?

in your reverse lights would be nice, I have seen it done and it looks nice for shows. I think the vents would be cool but annoying....you could also hide em in your trunk and wire it to your subwoofer like I did my neons and that would have a nice effect.

taillights, both behind the red part, and in the clear part (you need 2 more strobes)

I say put them in the headlights. That's where I have mine. It's a real attention getter 'cause they are super bright and visible.

PS, it would help us to suggest places for stobes if we knew where you already had some.

I would totally put them in your tail lights.... it turns heads 90 degrees and it's great when people tailgate you. Came back from cali on a roadtrip and 7 people were on my ***.. flipped on my strobes (which were blue) and I guess peeps thought I was a cop, haha. I'd look into my rear view mirror and they'd back off for miles!!
