anyone add strobes to their truck/car?

not for running down the road, but I think they look cool, and would be cool to run in some areas that its not gonna attract the fuzz..

I watched the WCC build on the GT Tire Toyota Tundra and when they presented it to him, they had the strobes on, looked like in the corner lights, idk.

Any thoughts?

Here is what I did and it really is not noticeable unless you turn them on. The spacing in the grill looks factory just be careful with the ones under the tailgate. Clearance is tight.
Strobes are from 911EP | light bars, police lighting, emergency lighting and they are the LEDSTAR lights in Amber. Cost me $20 each. Wired front and back separate to the upfitter 3 and 4 (Low amp) switches since they do not draw much.
Hope this helps.
I can also post pictures of the plexiglass brackets I made for the front grill if anyone is interested.
Good Luck!!

Raptorguy21 had strobes he added inside the factory headlight housing, along with a siren and a PA system mounted behind the grill in his Blue Flame. His crazy ass used to fire them up on one of the major streets here when he was following me. We'd get puzzled looks from people on the streets as the flashers, siren, and loudspeaker were all shouting "pull over" and the white truck responded by throwing the one-fingered salute out the window.

Funny this thread came up now, I work in construction management and one of my bosses was just talking about throwing some strobes on my Rap for the jobsites on the company's nickel.

Bacardi Cola... DO ITTT! I will be doing them when I do my retrofit. Rigid also has a strobe box you can get for the duallies or sections of their light bars.

They call us rednecks for acting like that down here, what do they call you? :ROFLJest: What kind of construction are you in? I'm currently building a 76 bed hospital.

Back on topic, I was thinking of LED strobes, maybe in the headlight/tail light, so they are out of the way and can only be seen when on.

I was thinking one kit/brand stood out, but looks like they kinda run together.

Thanks for the info I'll do some research!
