Cool. You can get those boxes from fire/polic supply companies too. GALLS comes to mind.
Only thing is... if you use those on people, that is getting kinda close to the whole "impersonating and officer" thing... that might net you in alittle more trouble compared to the other illegal things on your car.
But its still cool...especially if you can catch your friends off guard with it.

nice -- never know when those could be useful/fun to mess around with -- just be careful
also (just an idea) -- did you consider wiring it up for the high beams rather than the lows? It's prob bright as it is at night, but might be better with highs for the day -- might be easier to see for other drivers. Yea it would be bright and **** ppl off -- but you wont be using them often anyway.

well all you need is the controller, some length of wires, fuse holder with a 20amp fuse, and a on/off switch.
real simple install i think maybe the hardest part was deciding where to mount the switch. i still have to cover the wires and stuff in loom but i just wanted to see if itll work.
heres where i mounted the switch:
and heres the control box:

Thats halarious.. Can you get the back lights to work too? When I first saw the vid and it was showing the lights on the wall, I was like.. What is this? Then when you showed the front of the car, I was laughing sooo hard. Still kinda confused about how that works though.. You can still use your lights separately though (Headlights/Fog lights) right? That would kinda get annoying if you had to use those all the time! Like I said though, I dont know how the hell they work, so the questions probibly sound stupid.

Its also incredibly illegal and your car can be impounded. I have Hide-a-way Strobes and LEDs in my grill and Dash, but I am a Voli fire fighter and thats pushing the limits of what I can get away with.
quick 15 sec vid taken with a Digital camera. The Camera unfortunatly cannot film fast enough for the double pulses of the lights. You get the Idea though. BTW this is not a $20 module and Blue/White are Voli's in NY

Yep I can only use them while I am responding to an FD run. We dont run duty crews, so most of use roll from our own houses to the Fire house. They Deff do work too, when I had just the LED's in the grill and the dash people didnt notice as much as the strobes now.

Kinda illegal. They can carry jail time just for having them and not even using them. They do consider it impersonating a police officer. Some people use these for much worse things then playing jokes on friends. (kidnapping and rape come to mind) I had them on my tahoe ( volunteer fire fighter and emt-i) I got stopped on the way to a house fire one night and they impounded my truck and the fire chief had to come verify I was on the dept b/f I could be released. (about 6 hrs later.) This is just to let you know what you're playing with. Not trying to flame anybody here. I now have 6 stobes in my F150 (headlights, tail lights and dash but they flash together not alternating.
