ok, mirrors are out. What's another good place for some strobe heads? I have 2 in the rear brake lense, 2 in the backup lense, 2 in the front lights. I have 2 more to use. I don't think I need 2 more in the front since I have 4 other red/white led lights in the grill. I was thinking of putting 2 in the cargo light housing but read they'd get too hot and melt the lense in there. Darn mirrors would have been a perfect place!

I've seen some strobes in the cargo lights that didn't melt the lenses. Been thinking about doing it myself.

You should be able to install strobes in the cargo lights. I did on my '03 without issue.

You'll want to use a thin strobe cable and may have to enlarge the opening a bit to get the tubes to fit.
