strobe lights

has anyone done hidden lights in the tail light and headlight housings?
I had a kit for my 08 that made the cab lights strobes.....

I wanted to add strobes to this truck but haven't found truly hidden ones yet

Interesting timing. I found myself in your situation last week. I wanted a plow strobe and explored all options. I really liked my magnetic $30 strobe I used for years. Recon makes a well reviewed universal strobe kit for lamp housings. $300ish I think. I could not find if it would fit with the 2017's. I almost ordered but was not comfortable using a dremel on LED headlight housing or LED rear housing with BLIS.

Considered a back rack, Acari third brake adapter, etc. I choose the Ford factory option for now, should arrive today as a matter of fact. Will install the third brake housing assembly, not sure if I will install the hood mounted ones.

Strobes

Hello, just did mine. Amber front and rear, strobes n more. It was kinda sketchy drilling into them lights. Only suggestion I have for you is use to shop vacs and hold the light upside down when drilling. First use a 2” holesaw then a 1”. They are bright as hell at night and ok in the daylight. I used the kit, comes with 2 lights and the flasher, wired up real easy to my switches. Good luck.

Go with the Whelen Ions or microns. I have M7's in the grille, and a pair of Ions (red flash/ white steady) on a rear license plate bracket.

I also have an older pair of TIR 6's on my tool box and a full sized Freedom light bar.

I only use Whelen lighting and sirens. Pricey but well worth it.
