I use my truck for plowing during the winter and needed to install strobes in my superduty. There is not a lot of info on installing strobes into this year truck so I thought I would pass a long some info. Installed the tail light strobes today in the reverse lens. It is very tight in there but I was able to get them in. Ran the stobes for over 1/2 hour and the lens really never got hot, just a little warm. I have been taking photos of the install and will post when it is done. Tommorow I will be installing the front strobes into the upper lens

 

Just saying hi to so I can keep track of this progress. .. one of my upcoming mods.

 

I am a volunteer fire chief and have been running strobes front and rear for 9 years in my '02 F250. I have them in the rear brake light assy and the front corner assy and have 2 small 1"x4" strobes in the grille. I can take pictures of mine if you like.

 

please do.

 

Just finished this install today. The front was easy to take a part and install. I drilled a 1 3/8 hole throught he outer plastic and then drilled a 1" hole for the bulb into the lens. I then drilled a 1 3/8 hole onto a foamboard. Pulled the plug out of the hole saw and inserted it into the 1 3/8" hole on the outer head light assembly. Siliconed the plug into place. Should I ever need to get at the strobe bulb the foam plug should come out easily. Wired everything up and it works great

 

wheres the pictures?

 

I would love to see pictures so I can install them on my 03 f250. I'm State search and rescue and they would be nice to have.

 

Here are some pictures of the strobe install
This is the back side of the tail lights. I was able to get the strobe into the reverse lens but it was tight




The front was easier, but there are a couple of tricks to help out
On the outer shell drill a min. 1 3/8" hole with hole saw. Once outer shell is drilled switch out to a 1" hole saw and drill lens. Use vacuum during the drilling so chips are sucked out of lens.



Drill into some foam board using 1 3/8" hole saw and remove plug. Put slit in it so wires can pass through to middle of plug.




Put into hole in outer shell of light and silicon in. If there is ever a need to get the strobe out the plug could be remove easily



Thats about it

Nice pics, thanks.

 

I know mine is from an older year but placing something back into the drilled hole is needed. Since the lights have a 2 layered system, I cut a tad larger than bulb side in the black, and then smaller in the reflective to give the rubber stopper tight fit. I then place the black hole piece I cut back where it came from (with a hole for wires to come thru) and then put silicone to seal it up nicely.
There are some videos of mine on youtube, just search for my screen name...

 

I could've sworn my 2011 has already existing dummy sockets for strobes in the stock housings. Am I crazy? Haven't looked at it in a while.

 

I don't think the headlights have any, I had mine ripped right apart to paint them and didnt see any. Dunno on the taillights though...

 

Nice work and thanks for the pics.
