Cab Light Strobes

Is there a LED/Strobe kit available for a 1997 OBS F250? Keeping the stock look is a must too. I've looked around on the goog but can't find anything that keeps the original look.

Thanks

Highly doubt it. There is barley enough room for the 194 bulb that is in there. Unless you can find a 194 strobe bulb

Didnt even think about the legal issues.

But now that you mention it, it would be illegal here too. Because in order to make it strobe, it would have to out until it does strobe. Which would mean, the bulb does not light and that is a ticket able offense

Was amusing the OP wanted them for off road use, plowing parking lots perhaps?

If so why not wire them in such a way that they stay on when on the street and power routed through the strobe control when need them to flash?

Single pole double throw switch, one circuit direct to lights (normal function "on" when headlight/running-light is on), second circuit from same switch routes power through SC to lights so they flash.
Could easily be set up to also flash without truck lights on, just a matter of using the right switch/circits for the task.

The atomic's would be perfect except they don't make them for OBS trucks.

You're putting Atomic's on your 97? Are you using the kit for the 98+ Super Duty's?
