Strobes in 93-97 Camaro?

Has anyone done headlight strobes in a 93-97 Camaro? If so, how'd ya do it?

How about tail light strobes?

Re: Strobes in 93-97 Camaro?

You are going to have a hard time putting them in the headlights. You might want to drop them in either the foglamps or even better would be the corners. The rears would be easy to do too. Doing the corners and rears, you just have to drill the right size holes through the plastic.

The only question I have for you is, why would you want them?

I got a true police setup that i will sell you but once you hear the price tag your going to run, cause these are very hard to get ahold of. each strobe alone cost 85 bucks and i have 6 if that says anything

I have them in the clear corners and the rear lights. Instalation, which took a couple of hours but I haven't used them even once. it was pretty much a waist of time and money.

I put green strobes in my rear speaker grills to match my green neons........needless to say....what a waste of time (got the strobes for free) i never use them, and they arent that appealing to me, but all the other people i hang out with around here think they are cool. They do give a kind of cool effect, but are more or less pointless.

I got them off ebay for something like $10/pair.
1. Took out the corners and drilled a hole on top of each (size 1/2")
2. traced the whiring inside the oppenning somewhere in the bumper. You'll see it - it's not hard. sticked the controll box somewhere by the left driving lights so it's not "in your face" but reachable with some effort.
3. Grounded it somewhere close in there and got the wire through the firewall to the switch which was already set up before.
4. for the rears I've done the same thing and put the strobs into the back up lights.
5. hooked them up to the same switch and used it once just to see that they are working.

I'm not saying they are worthless or anything and I wanted them for long time but when I place them I lost all the interest in them. Anyways it took me a good 3 hours with all the taking the parts out, drilling and wiring. I don't plan to take them off because it's just way to much of a hussle to do and they don't realy bother me there. If you have more questions PM me and I'll try to help you out.

I have an 8-point sho-me strobe system which is an emergency vehicle type. They're in the fogs, front signals, tail lights, and reverse lights. Yeah the price tag for this set up is killer. I don't see why you'd want it tho? It makes sense on my car...
