I'd want more of a pace car type sequence. The local law enforcement might frown on lights mimicing their own.

that's similar to the one I have. I stripped it off a wrecked cruiser. Got it for free, but had to buy the bulbs.
The most often answer I give is... "no, they are additional bulbs".
Only the public safety strobe systems are bright enough IMO.

Thanks --- it's an older one now (Alpine IVA-D900).
For everyone commenting about legality --- you can install and operate any kind of lighting "off-road" (i.e. parking lot, at a show, your driveway, etc.) I don't drive around with the lights flashing --- and I wouldn't advise anyone else to either. I hope that ends that....
To answer your Q Chip --- It's the Walen System. The wiring is the longest part of the install. I forgot what size hole maker I used ( I think 1/2"-3/4") then insert the bulbs and screw in the base. Only real concern was the bulbs touching one another, but a simple adjustment and test fit...no problems
The control box was mounted on behind the bumper. Took about 3 hours total.

I've seen one around here at some of the car shows that had lots of strobes installed. Sure got your attention.

Operation of the Strobes?
Old posting...but am curious if you made up a remote to change the sequences of flashings? A guy did once for my 2004 Z16 but since has passed away and have NO clue how he done that....
