Strobes in tail/marker lights->pics

Greetings all,

I know back in the day someone posted a thread in regards to having strobes in their tail light and in their headlights. Well as a Fire Lieutenant and Paramedic i have my personal vehicle set up as an emergency vehicle so i have them in my front marker lights and rear tail lights. These however are top of the line strobes, not ricer-esque POS's you get at Pep Boys! Here are a few pics of them in action, this is also during the day when they are least visible, as you can see they are pretty kick ***, they move traffic well! They are clear bulbs, in the front and rear, show red in the rear due to lenses-duh! Any questions please feel free to e-mail, it was an easy install i did myself.

It's a Whelen strobe pack, 6 outlet. IMHO Welen is the best for strobes, you want rotators then go with Code 3. As far as LED's go, they are SWEET!, BUT, you are gonna pay for them, BIG TIME! They are not cheap! Especially for any special colors- blue, yellow, green, etc...

Thumbs up wig wags

Hmmm, wig wags, i LOVE 'em, but not to keen about cutting into my nice pristine Ford wiring harness to tap into my headlights. they really kick *** for moving traffic, but if they made a prefab kit where i dont have to splice, id buy it in a heartbeat, can anhyone help?

I've been looking into getting LEDs for my truck. im a firefighter, and i just want some small ones to go on my grill or dash, but they are expensive!

anyhow, i got to searchin around and i found this website:
http://autolumination.com/fixtures.htm

i ordered 2 pair of the fast strobe LEDs after e-mailing the owner and asking about the brightness, he said they were bright enough for emergency use in the day. either way, we'll see. ill let yall know how they are when i get em in.

also, they have some LED lights that drill in your corner lights just like a strobe, even have the colored covers, but theyre LED so they dont get so hot & melt your lenses like a co-worker of mine, and they flash 4 times a second i think. FAST!
