Thats just typical of the provincially maintained roads we have to drive on to get to work everyday...

I finally got around to changing my axle

I also decided to pull out the strobe light modules and wiring....cool flashing lights won't get you home

The wiring alone weighed about 15 pounds

Pardon me for being a vulture but... Do your strobes still work or are they hacked apart? And most importantly would you like to rid yourself of such clutter?

I am not sure if the strobes work or not, as I did not try to get them working. The police just cut out what they needed to take. When I removed the wiring, I tried not to cut the wires that went from the strobe units to the bulbs, but i had to cut a few. There is a phone number of the strobe manufacturer on the units, you may be able to call them to get bulbs,lights or connectors.

PM me your state and zip and i will give you a quote shipped
