I would recomend purchasing a strobe light kit.....way to risky to mess around w/the hid's. A "camo" evo would look interesting

I disagree with you there, I believe you're the first person to pursue such a modification in the history of the Lancer Evolution. May I also suggest an Axelback with a bomb muffler and some neons. Try not to be so touchy, if so many others on this forum are of like mind you should have no reason to feel the need to be defensive.

Irregardless, probably shouldn't of posted anything but I did because I have a feeling setting up the HID's to strobe could potentially damage them.

In all honesty, he was asking how to make his headlights strobe. No where did he ask, tell me your honest opinion. If everyone were "like minded" the world would be pretty boring and mundane. Evom, is no exception. Its not like he would have his lights strobing 24/7. Most likely, to get by in traffic and when he parks for effect. I see nothing wrong with that. Would i do it? No. Is it a cool idea? Yea, id like to see Dan put it into effect. You said you shouldnt have posted, but you did anyway, because you think the HIDs would be damaged. You could have responded postively or warning him? Instead, you poke ricer jokes at him. Its something different, live with it.

why dont you take out your fog lights and put some strobes in their. you gut to fog light bulb so you can pop the strobe on the bottom of the bulb so it will not move around and then you rig it up just like a normal strobe kit.

I'll admit my original post may have come off a little harsh, I'm just all too familiar with modifications such as this damaging other things and just coming off altogether tasteless. I've never met the guy nor do I have any opinion of him either way. Kind of like people buying 120w headlight bulbs for harnesses designed for 65w output. I apoligize to the original poster, didn't really mean to offend him, partial case of the mondays I guess.

...other than the fact that, most places, it is illegal to have lights -- that are not turn signals -- that blink. For example, if you bought an old ambulance you must disconnect the siren and emergency lights before licensing it.

It's my understanding that the traffic laws are worded such that you can't even have such a thing hooked up if you drive a car on the street. Regardless, I was responding to the comment about using strobes to "get around traffic".
