i own a set of four in the grill, but i came up with an exciting idea at work today, y not hook up the strobes from fire alarm systems, like at schools and walgreens, i was demoing a building today and pulled 12 off the wall, and left 4 in my truck, i hooked it up to the battery, and they work, just under their own motherboard, and i cant seem to be able to figure out how to just get the light, i have a strobe (brain) as i would put it that controls the lights, i just want brighter ones, any one know if i can convert these to be my strobes or if anyone knows where to get just the stobe bulbs??
 
that wouldn't be extremely illegal or anything:badidea:
 
My uncle has the in his van. Headlights, taillights, running board lights, and the lights over the cab are all able to have the strobe effect. I talk to him tomorrow and see how he did it.
 
It wouldn't work because fire alarm strobes are 24v where your truck is a 12v system.
 
They will work...somewhat. One of our call firefighters put some in his truck a few years ago and the did run off 12 volts, but they flashed at a much slower rate. Also, depending on where you live white or red strobes can be illegal for use without a permit, even when sitting in a parking lot.

get a wigwag controller. but keep in mind the legality of what you are doing.

seems to me I seen strobing turn signals and brake lights on a tractor trailer and the DOT bear told me they were perfectly legal.
