Yeah i used to work at an audio shop and the biggest part is getting the strobe bulbs in the lights..after that its just simple wiring..most decent audio shops will have the strobe kits and should be able to wire them up for ya..we did it a few times...i think it would look awesome..we have a friend at our local cruise hangout spot and he has strobes and when he comes in we always think its the cops..they look plus he works for a wrecker service so he uses them for that purpose when he is helping load them on the roll backs..keep us updated

Whelen makes a kit with 6 different bulbs and features scanlock for different types of flash patterns..apc has one but i wouldnt recommend it and for some reason i wanna say Metra had one...just do a search on yahoo or something for strobe kits..im pretty sure you could get some good deals on ebay....its basically just installing the bulbs wiring them up to a controller and power source and having your switch where you want it...it just some wiring and the biggest part securing the bulbs inside which lights you want them in

Wait, all you want the car to do is blink when you lock and unlock the doors? Get an alarm module that handles that... why go to all the trouble of getting a strobe if youre only going to waste it on lock and unlock and nothin more? Seems like way too much work for something that's going to be on for 5 seconds, if that.

If you purchase an aftermarket alarm system, a lot of them make the turn signals and/or fog lights blink when you lock/unlock the vehicle. Mine did, but then I disconnected the battery and I haven't been able to figure out how to set it up again lol.
