strobes/LED's

I want to put some strobes in the grill of my truck. I have zero need for these so don't ask I just think it would be cool. Where can I get the lights and controllers? I would also like to spend under $100.

Yepper, me too! Look here 86655 Bumper Window Strobe 6 LED. I'm going with 4 amber flashers in the grill tied to the hazards.

Well guys, I finally mounted some in the rear window. Pardon the bad cell phone pics, but here you go. I haven't done the grille lights yet.

Strobes are very cool. BUT, check your local state laws on what you can do. In Washington you cannot have Red, White or Blue strobes unless you are an authorized emergency vehicle.

You are correct, but I am a fire chief so I'm all set. Actually, that's the only reason I have them.

I've seen the pace cars during races and wondered where those cool stobe systems come from and how to integrate them into the hazard warning system----talk about a very cool thing for the street!

Anyone have any vendors or experience re-fitting a vehicle with these?
