Congrats for the run-on sentence award.

Strobes require you to drill a hole in the housing of the lamp, and then insert the bulb and mount.

They make the cheap ones where you just slip them in before the headlight bulb, then just let the wires hang inside. Ghetto rigged but you don't have to drill any holes.

I didn't hate. I'm just **** about my punctuation and grammar.

I don't hate, I punctuate.

Back to your topic, what color do you want the strobes, and where do you want them?

As long as you take your time drilling the holes for the strobe mounts, you won't crack the housing. If you want some serious strobe action, get what the cops use. A whelen strobe power supply and hidden strobes. It's not cheap though, i'd say it's about $200 for the setup.

Wood = Tree's
Would = Proper Usage

Just trying to help you out bro. As for your strobes you might want to check out what the local PD uses as mentioned before. I know that their stuff is top notch. I have a police siren pulled from a DCPD Police Car and let it be know when I am coming ;)

That's the setup i mentioned up there /\

I haven't bought a setup in a while, but the Galls setup is the one i speak of. Cops buy from that magazine too, so you're basically getting a police set of strobes.
