need a good source for plug&play LED strobes

powerjoke ยท 2014-03-02 18:07

i bought a new pickup and always try to go hideaways on my personal rig but last ford i had a lot of troubles with the LED strobes in the headlights developing moisture..... so i didnt even attempt drilling them on the dodge and planned on using solid state headlight flashers...... but they are a ground switched system and computer controlled with no relays so there went that idea what im wanting on my new truck is cablight strobes (led) i cant figure out where to get them or any reviews of them, i would rather not spend 3 days tearing a new pickup apart either was hoping for something plug n play, due to most of the new ambulances being super duty's i would figure there is something easier out there ???????? i've included a pic of my dodge as you can see the whelen Tir3's in the grill and hideaways in the fog's arent all that visible at a side angle. and after i put the bull bumper on it got worse. the white ford has 6 tube type strobes and you cant even tell they are on. just looking to do something extra special on the black truck and any help is appreciated pj

    just did, they dont have anything really plug and play, i might have to go with grille lights or something check this out. this is what i would like but i cant find anyone that's installed a kit before to see how many hours it takes, i would guess with moon roof and side airbags etc. it would be a PITA but i dunno http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9sackA_oObc pj

    PJ don't know about the fords but the dodges starting I think in 2006 you don't want to hook anything into the factory light harness they have some crazy modules working the headlights

    i totally agree with you there they are a nightmare lol, supposedly they was coming out with a police series that was going to allow and adapt to plug n play but they've yet to do it as far as i know just to get my center light on the bumper working i had to route it through the foglights, then to get the xenon foglights to work i had to run them through a relay off the running lights with a dummy lightbulb to apply resistance so the comp wouldnt think the bulb was burnt out. pj

    I have been looking at these for my truck. Would be interested in seeing how well they work. They appear to be the lights in the video http://www.atomicled.com/index.php?...shop.browse&category_id=28&Itemid=90&TreeId=1

    the atomic cab lights work OK at night but are pretty pathetic during the day
