Strobe Lights

adityamunshi · 9th December 2007, 22:26

I am planning to install strobes on my Indica in place of the parking lights.

I have a few questions :
Are the cheap chinese ones bright enough ?
Is it possible to install them myself ?

govigov · 10th December 2007, 05:30

how much are the strobes costing now?

m4ugr8 · 10th December 2007, 10:10

Strobes are price between 400-3000 bucks. depends on d make and quality.Go for tyre-R strobes.They costed me 800,when i fitted them on my swift.

Chinese ones are bright enough but mostly they don't last long.
Yes u can install it yourself. Go through the whole thread.

I guess I sound stupid, but is there any actual practical use for strobes other than bling bling?

I was thinking of getting one, or a max of two strobes fitted in the back someplace (probably right under/near the rear-center-brake-light) and getting them connected to the reverse gear.

I hate the reverse gear horns, but I want people to be warned in some way when I'm reversing. The panic lights are no use in my neighborhood. 80% of my driving is in the evening/after dark, so maybe these would help. Do you folks think it would help?

Good idea but I think Palio has a very bright reverse light. U want to make it even brighter??

You can just turn on the ICE!

Your ICE seems good enough to get the attention of the whole neighbourhood!

OT: Can you please help me with the cost of sound-proofing WagonR, at Cochin?

hi, i just enquired about strobe lights and the dealer offered me some company ZDMAX- 2 bulbs at price of 2800/-!
he recommended me to put it in place of parking lights.

have you guys heard of this brand before? is it good? is price correct?

Abix · 13th December 2007, 11:23

honestly guys they've gotten old now! even i used to have them on my swift but after a while you get tired of it and the stares you get from other people are not pleasant ones!

Whoops! Aren't strobes these bright lights that blink real fast, making people pay attention? I just want people to see me reversing and give me the leeway I need, without cutting across the back, even while I'm reversing. Like you said the reverse light is quite bright enough to see well.
