Does it do that when you fob the approach lights?

Make sure you roll out of your driveway in neutral. Illegal when you hit the street.

Glad you're happy with it, but just don't understand the need for strobes like that.

The police will have a field day with those when your backing out of anything at night. In NY state those will be callled dazziling and you will recieve a ticket for them. Also studies on emergency apparatus showed that people are actually drawn to the mezmerizing lights like that,Thats why so many are going to yellow flashers and stock four way flashers when parked on the side of the road!!!

But Hey you have fun with them

That's all that matters. Don't worry about anyone asking "Why"... it's no one else's car, money or business... This is still the USA right?

Have fun with it When other people start paying for your bills, they can ask why.

Illegal in most states and it actually makes it harder to see (for the driver)when the lights are on. If you are backing up using those lights your perception will be way off...but don't worry you will look really cool!

I installed the same kind of strobes on my Z in the front (by running light) AND rear. They will be hooked up to my G5 alarm, so they are activated when the alarm goes off. I also can control them from inside the car. The car was in a show a few months ago, and they were a big hit. They are extremely bright at night and would not run on the street with them.

Vega$Vette they look better in person. Give the guy a little credit for thinking outside the box. What have you done to your car that is new or orginal?
