Strobes on my TTA

Hi Folks,

YouTube - Strobes on my Turbo Trans Am Pace Car

I don't know if i should go with strobes in the taillights. what do you guys mean? white or red? or nothing?

Why is it that they keep messing up? Like it'll be 2-2-2-1-1-2-1 for the number of times it's flashing. If you actually decide to do it I would make the rear pieces under the spoiler too for it. If it were my car I would make it so I could just take the rear piece in and out and run a wire up along the inside of one of the arms on the spoiler and then down through the rear window seal to a power source. Looks like you're making some good progress though.

I was thinking about doing a project like this then I got yelled at by to many people! Won't even let me do things to my car around here! shesh! Anyways looking good.. I would do the side markers and foglights as well. The ones under the rear spolier were just some 3rd brake lights with yellow lens. They should be easy to find/make up.

I think it's the quality of video, lower frames per second, so It's not catching each flash.

I thought they were front amber side markers? At least that's what they look like in the pics, to me.

i usually hate stuff like that, but it looks like your setup is invisable until you turn them on. So, I like it. On the other hand can you talk to your car now?

I thought about trying something like this, but that was my reasoning not to: too many Knight Rider jokes.

Looks great!
Do you get lots of comments when you drive around with those on?
