adding lights to alarm system
on my '02 ranger i have an autopage 310 alarm system installed by a local shop. later, i installed strobe lights in the grill and headlights. now i would like to have the strobes tied in with the alarm system the same way the parking lights are. the two sets of strobes each have a power and ground wire. the power wire runs to inside the cab to a switch and then from there runs to the battery. four strobes, two switches. i would like to join the strobes with the alarm so that they operate in sync with the parking lights already hooked up to the alarm, yet still maintain their functionability with the switches when not being used by the alarm. is this possible to achieve an if so, how? should i splice into the strobe wires before or after the switches, and with which wire should i tie in, if any?

I seem to remember walmart sells them. They are little square black boxes. The autoparts stores sell them too. I think Bosch makes them, Hella, and Napa may have them. If you go to Napa, you might run into somebody who knows what you are talking about.
"i need to splice into each of the strobe wires before and after the switch right?,"
Yep. The relay is triggered by the horn, and acts just like the switch by sending power around the switch to the strobes.
