headlight strobes

I got a strobe light kit, and i was wondering, is there any way i could not use the lights that came with it, and somehow hook the wires straight to the wires for my headlights. will it cause any problems?

If the strobes flash more than once or twice a second, the filament in your headlights is not going to have time too cool enough for there to actually be darkness before the next flash. The module that the strobe lights plug in to probably send more than a 12V power to the lights to turn them on. Bad idea no matter what.
