Whilst browsing thru ebay ealier today noticed that there seems a lot off these police style front strobe kits on offer for sale, just wonder who is buying these things and just how effective there are ??!!

anyone ever had / gave a scare to someone with a set off blue coloured stobes ??!!

Seamaster

Yes, they chucked the grass out and sped off. We had one great weekend!

baz69birds

yes a few of the ESC have them (off road use only)

they are great FUN, would NEVER use on public roads

TDT

Why would anyone want blue lights on their car?

Bloke round here got a very nasty surprise when he bombed up behind a car flashed his *ahem* "police style" strobes and got quite a nasty surprise when the car in front lit up like a Christmas tree.

Best not to pick on an unmarked firearms car eh!

Here are some amber ones we use on our car as a safety vehicle on our motor club events

When this one is on it is very very bright


Amber ones under the bootlid on the inside


Clear ones in the front lights

Wonder what ones you have mate ?? any photos / videos off them in action ??!!

the ones on ebay either seem to be these cheap max power specials - very convicing !!! or led strips which flash theree times - short pause and then flash theree times again with both lights flashing together as opposed to alternating like on the real traffic cars.

great story about the guy flashing his strobes at the car in front only to find out it was an unmarked traffic car - would have loved to have seen the look on his face !!

again jsut seems to be a lott of these things being sold so obviously they are being used out there and they cant all be being used off road !!!

Poor Guy

hehe. my mate has the alternating headlights and siren. pulls his brothers over lol lso has the tannoy kit. on the way to le mans he made some women in the petrol station move her car and stop talking on her mobile next to the pump. she shot off quick lol.

Sure there is a kit available that can convert your normal headlights into alternating ones, anyone any links ?? looked on ebay but its one thing I actually cant find !!!

LOL! Impersonating a police officer is something the BiB take a very dim view of.

Prefer to think off it as more off impersonating a pace car myself !!!

to be honest mate as I say I noticed that there was a lot of these blue coloured strobe kits being advertised on ebay so they must be a common enough mod to some off the local boy racer brigade or even some off the ESC as has been pointed out in the thread above !!

Stephb1986

my step dad had the blue light thing that they put on the roof when they are in chase used it once on his way home from work everyone moved out the way ha ha ha ha ha ha classic

A seems I was not looking hard enough on ebay guess what I found ??!!!

eBay.co.uk: Headlight Flasher Kit - Alternating Wig Wag Flashing (item 220070036099 end time 18-Jan-07 22:15:00 GMT)

must admitt its probably only around a fivers worth off electronics from your local Maplins within that little box ??!!

just wonder how your little headlamp bulbs would cope with being subjected to this abuse as well ??!!!

baz69birds

Aquanaut

Ah, seen these on the local CHAVs, but put it down to dodgy wiring!!

Each to their own
