Strobe lights

Hey all, I've juwst been given some strobe lights from my friend (drives a honda civic..so hes into his fancy lights n huugee exhausts) but anyways, I'd like to fit them to see what they'd look like, has anybody else fitted them? if so where? I'm thinking about putting them under the wheel arches, I'm going to pop down and wire them in a mo, not properly just to see what they'd look like. any ideas people?

The only thing is, i wouldnt dare drill anywhere If i was to fit them, it would jut be somewhere simple where i could clip them onto and clip them off, forget properly drilling them out into the headlights or whatever, i could do without the hassle. i'll go down and take some pics now..

Re: Strobe lights

ask yourself if you think they will improve the look of the car.

Re: Strobe lights

Well, I just took some videos, and looked at them, and quite frankly they dont look terribley amazing, just as i thought. although i can imagine them looking good inside the headlight, i dont want ot have to go through all of the work.

Re: Strobe lights

dont waste your time and for the love of god dont drill your headlamps the inner reflector moves with the control inside the car so you'd have one hell of a job to make them fit so they move with the reflector.....

Hence why I previously said deffinatly not drilling the headlights! its fine in a clapped out civic (aimed at my friend when he read this at some point) but not in a nice beautiful gp!
