Headlights and Strobes

ok, Mike, i want your headlights, give me a price. also i will obviously clear them, and me being the slob i am, i will need a hand.

second thing, who got strobes? is it Andrew? how much did they cost, was it easy to instal. if so me a pharoh and whoever else might as well do it.

also, damn this snow, it looks beautifull outside, untill i drive. my rear tires are so bald, that when i pulled and e brake doing 20, my car did a 480

im in for the strobe and hand (I need to seal my headlight anyways.) strobe only costs like $20~$30 at Canadian Tire (the show ones) it's not that hard to install strobes, just need to make right holes and clean the chrome part after.

I'll do the install on your strobes...YOU are drilling the holes in your headlights though!
It cost me $14 bucks for a set! you'll also need a switch to turn it on and off!(5 bucks)

I am plannin on hooking it up with Panic Mode
Hook it up at panic mode, take the horn off panic
and it will be wireless controlled.
I am just concerned that it might eat up my battery.

You can tie them into your lights so they go off when the alarm is tripped, shouldn't do any harm to anything.

nono I am not talking about that
I acutally want to turn on&off the panic/strobe (with horn mode taken off) when I am driving.
you see where I am goin with it? (excuse my bad english lol)

if you have OEM remote,
If you turn the panic on, your horn goes BEEB~~ BEEB~~BEEB~~ right?
it's sending out pulse to the horn. Since I never use panic mode
I want to take the panic mod to horn relay off, connect it to my strobe
so I can turn it on and off with my remote control other then adding a switch.

you have to drill because of the rubber part of the strobe wont fit in with your bulb...it's really not easy as it looks!. If i can go back to doing it or not...I probably wouldnt (I messed up on my right headlight and the silver fillament came off of the light) so it's really risky to DIY

oh by the way. where is the best placeto put the strobes. i mean in the middle part of the headlight. in the corner signal part. or should i put them in the bottom corner, beside the plastic piece.

also, i aint drilling ****. i will just run the wires through the bulb hole, and let the strobe just hand inside. the plastic peice on the stibe will just be inside my headlight.

not as hot as headlight, but it might melt the tubing or wire if it's touching the bulb afterwhile.
