Default Installing strobes on C6

I'll be getting a C6 soon and I want to install strobes in headlights, fog lights, tail lights, and reverse lights. Where would I mount the strobes in the headlight housings??

Thanks for the sarcasim. I am a cop and part of the ID division. So when I have to get up the Parkway fast to get to a crime scene, I need to use strobes.
Anyone with real info for me??

I'm in the same boat as you, but I've got a T/A. I have a 90W Whelen box, but had to leave my undercover strobes in the lights on my truck when I traded it in. I'd recommend those if you haven't bought any yet.

The actually strobes and controller aren't the problem, I have that worked out. I need to know where I should install them in the headlights. Can they go in the projector light? Can they be mounted in the body material inside the headlight housing?

I'm pretty sure you just drill a hole into the headlight housing and the strobe is then mounted in that. I've never looked up close to a C6 headlight, but unless it's all sectioned off, I don't think it would matter where it's mounted.

No biggie bro. I did laugh at it, but I was just letting you know why I do need them.

GREGG, yeah I spoke to the guy who's putting them in and he said they'll just be mounted in the housing.

just drill a hole, preferably in an area that wont be seen, and put them in.. make sure to seal, reseal, and reseal them with lots of silicone otherwise the moisture WILL get in..

You beat me to it. Its not that hard to do. Just MAKE SURE you seal it up good. This cannot be stressed enough.

No joke. 1 of mine leaked in the backup light on my Dodge. Those little foam seals don't work all that great.
