Sup All!!! I did a search but didnt get much info im thinking of adding a strobe the real police ones not the crappy stuff its prob gonna require 8 bulbs in all 4 for the front and 4 in the back...i know they are not cheap and i have a guy in my town who does them...my questions are does any one have them w pics if possible and or does anyone know where i could get a set at a decent price and ones that r quality if not ill go w the shop in town but that can run like 400-500..........which very well may be a good deal but id like 2 shop around...... :cop:

is it legal to have? I heard that in NY you must have a permit for this type of thing

I believe that is around the price for these things. A friend got a few for his Lincoln and it was definitely expensive. I'll try to get the site for you.

lookup pics of my car from the show, the post by dark dj. you will see the strobes i have setup behind the mugen grill and on the lower grill. i also have the rear tailights hooked in. 4 seperate light housings and lenses w/ strobe encased. 10 speed control switch. i didn't do the headlights because they always have condensation problems. looking at $400 plus install! not cheap but the real deal! also put a wig/wag on my highbeams!

I used to have them in my previous Accord. It was fun, when people didnt want to move out of your way in the left lane, just flip the switch and watch people just move out of your way!! Just be careful not to get caught by the cops cuz I believe its called an impersonation ticket, which is a mandatory fine and a trip to the precinct since you are posing as a cop. Trust me I know, I got caught, wasn't fun.

Oh yeah, I like this idea.

I have al3ways wanted to do this, but the price and the install are deal breakers.... i was told by a cop friend that sometimes they sell them out of stripped cop cars..... I do know that if you get caught with them, it is a bitch to defend against.... but nonetheless it is cool as hell.... For the guys who did have them, where did ya'll get them from and is it a DIY install or does it require professional install?

Nym31mp, if you get it, keep us posted....

nym31mp

its not if i get them its when def doin and that is true u can get em out of stripped police cars but u dont know what ur getting and its pretty much a guarentee that the parts ur gettin r beat to siht and if they break u may have to mix and match parts to fix it thats i say buy new and have a warentee and im not gona do it myself have no clue how plus u gotta drill holes in the head and tailights..........................but ill def let u know peace

Has anyone at least tried to do a goggle search for strobe kits ???? There are so many places that sell kits online its not funny. Do your research first thou because power supplies come in different wattages and with different patterns. Like audio systems of coarse the more wattage you send to the strobe the brighter it will be.

Here are some links to the places I found with good equipment for a good price.

Some of the better brand name strobe companies are Whelen and Federal Signal

Diamond Type-S

i have strobe kits installed on all my funeral cars. Able2 Sho-me kits are good quality, also whelen strobes aren't bad. http://www.strobe-direct.com/ has a good selection. I havent installed them in my acura yet because i don't know how it would work with the headlights, but if it's been done i'd like to see what you guys have come up with.

nym31mp

ive seen it done on the TL acually a few this is how i have seen it done on a TL
4 bulbs in the front which is one bulbs in each headlight and one in each fog light
the back has 4 also 2 on each side one bulbs in the white turn signals and one in the red......i myself am do it diff im gonna do 4 bulbs in the front 1 in each headlight and and 1 in each top part of the turn signal and the back will stay the same.......im gonna have zippos in belleville do it but if i can get a cheaper price online ill just let them do the install.........im goin w 90 watts that good right

check out a police supply place. evidently you know a cop pretty well, ask him if he can get you a name. i know the place that does a lot of cop car repairs in clifton, but i don't know if they do installs like this.

i don't believe it's illegal to own these or have them on your car, just to use them in public is illegal. as long as your not on a public road with them on you should be fine.

I was gonna go with the 90w myself one set of six in front and one set of six in back. SlyTls has a full strobe show set up on him TL including the under body of his car you might want to PM him

all u really need is 8 total bulbs in all thats wut police cars have i know this because my dad is police chief in my town and her orders the cars....i should find out who does their cars and maybe i can get mine done.............

njtls

if you can find a good place to buy/install strobes hook me up with some info...this is something ive wanted for a long time...

goldendragon576

TL_Diplomat has them on his car! BTW, where the hell is he? They were pretty cool, I'd love to drive around just scaring people, but with my luck, I'd do it to an undercover cop.

the wig wag has nothing 2 do w strobes the strobes have their own flash pattern the wig wag is a device that makes the oem headlights,taillights,and backup lights flash giving them a pattern it wasnt seperate bulbs now that strobes are used the wig wag isnt used as much because although effective not to bright...........

NsX Pilot

If you hook the wig wag up to the high beams it looks pretty cool

nym31mp

yea it does but doesnt stand out like strobes do......
