They do look pretty cool, saw a couple cars with them at a show last weekend. 
Anyone ever strobe out a C5?

Hiya Chip! 
Here's a 360º view of my car when I started modding ---

Hope you enjoy it... I'd recommend getting a set of real police strobes (don't ask where I got mine
... but I can tell you where to get a set 
) The ones most shops sell are the long bulbs. The ones I have are coiled and covered with a metal wire 
: There's a huge difference in performance.

Will that do all the lights? Tail/Back up/Side markers/Headlights/Fog lights/front corner?
Do I need extra bulbs...
Do they go into factory locations or do I have to fab them into
the existing fixtures...
Do I need a electrical expert to wire this up...

I have six strobes in my car. I have two up front, one in each front marker light and I have four in the back one in each of the outer tail lights and one in each of the reverse lights. You will need to drill into your lights so they have a mounting place. I have my strobe box mounted inside my rear bumper!!!

Carleton was able to answer several questions that I had, I am sure he would do the same for you. There is a video on his website along with instructions.
Thanks,

but you do have to drill holes in your lights that you choose to put them in. I would not do them in the headlights because of the popup feature and if you left the headlights down wiht the strobes on, it could get too hot with the engine right there and cause damage. you have to be careful not to let them touch any of the plastic on the lights for you run a chance of it melting. I would mount the power pack somewhere under the seat or in the hatch. Its been a while since ive done an install on these so its coming back to me piece by piece.
I have seen this done on vettes, the Warren Co. S.O. acutually has a vette with these in it. I will see if i can call a deputy friend of mine and get some more details for you.

Drop Carleton a line on myspace... I think there is a link to his page on his spd kilz website. He is always willing to chat it up with enthusiasts. He would even help if you were nice
Great guy!GL
