help installing car strobe lights

[el-taco]

Now I either suck at googling or nobody has ever written a how-to on how to do this, I think the first one is correct

They are similar to this (although not exact... same control box but with bigger/more lights. not aquired from DX though...)DealExtreme: $16.36 Police Style Car 12V 6-LED Red/Blue Stroboscopic Light with 3-Mode Controller My friend bought these god knows where off the internet and if i find out how to install them theyre mine

so anyway can anyone tell me how to install these on a regular car? i cant seem to find any information anywhere



thanks for any help

Well, since it has wire leads and runs off 12V, you could simply wire it to this thing and plug it into your cigarette lighter.

That's how I would go about doing it lol. That way it's even easily removable

would it be possible to install it inside like my house so i can run it off a powerpoint?

I'm sure you could. You would just need a 12v power supply. You could probably find something around the house like an old cell phone or camera charger or something and strip the wires.

Yes, just find a 12V plugpack and wire it up with the correct polarity. I must give a warning though, using emergency strobe lights etc, or for that matter, any distracting lights, on your car is quite illegal while driving on public roads ...

For $16 it doesn't look like too bad of a deal...I could think of some funny things to do with those.
