Fortunately, at least at night, it IS sort of hard to recognize it as being a vette with flashbulbs going off.

OH NO -- I'm seeing blue spots in my eyes.....

Personally, I'm a light-a-holic and i love strobes. However I'm still confused as to their intended purpose in your instance. Most people use them at shows to attract attention....and votes

What model are they? Perhaps a Day vid would work better with your camera. (less night glare)

That is the first thing I thought and hope a person with epilepsy does not watch that.

I do think it is cool and probably fun to install. Do they really flash that fast or did you speed up your video?

I agree with the other poster, it is your car, money and time have fun and do what you want.

Depending on the flash duration, they probably won't even show up on daytime vid.... you might see one or two flashes evey few seconds.

i thought about getting some flashing white one's in the front by my fogs for my Vette and some mounted up on the visors and some in the front corner lenses and the reverse lights. I'm a first responder so i alot of the time have a VERY hard time getting through traffic in an emergency. i've got some in my truck but have had a problem in my Vette if i happen to have that vehicle with me at the time. I also go to shows so it'll have a dual purpose. Now with me planning an Procharger install i'll have the fastest reaction time of all our guys. I asked local law enforcement if that was legal and they said for a first responder i can have white and blue. No red i guess.~Cole~

Ok, where is the spinning disco ball and the funky music? I was trying to do the "Robot" when I watched that. It may not be as bad due to the camera and the bright lights but it would seriously cause problems at night for a driver behind you. But damn, that would look and work excellent as a theft deterrent if hooked up to your alarm as was previously mentioned. You could probably create the kit and make some money. The damn thief stealing the car would be easy to find by the crap trail he left behind.

In our city your car has to be approved as an emergency vehicle to use any sort flashing lights. This helps cut down on the number of impersonators and wannabes. You list your occupation as a self employed contractor...what type of "first responder" are you?
