Go to Autozone or pep boys and buy the ones that are small tubes. They're about $20. There's a perfect place inside your headlights to put them. In the corner of the headlight near the turn signal you'll notice a rubber nipple. When you remove it, you have a perfect place for the strobe tube. Both Dave (RedGalant) and Allan (Pinoy) have them there. You'll need to take out the headlight to cut the nipple off and expose the hole. The other option is to drill a new hole in your headlight housing.

chip's got it almost down. uhm autozone pep boys whatever they got the tube style strobs. comes in 5 colors , i got mine for like 12 dollars at pep boys, made by pilot motorsports. apc are some good ones too.

uh installation can be a bitch. depends on the brand u got.

installation of mine. well take off both headlights. then on the end u got that lil hole in the inside of the headlight. follow that hole to the outside. uhm you'll see one of two things, a half circle shaped nipple or a white plastic cover. if it has a cover, remove it and u'll see the nipple. uhm do u need to remove the nipple? no. but u are gonna have to drill it out so its a circle and the neon bulbs will fit. uhm i recommend geting some plier or even ur drill and removing the nipple so u can get the bulb in there more.

as for the routing of the wire. well, route the wire through the car before putting them in the headlight. u'll see y if u don't. u might have to extend some of the wires too. i didn' and well, my control box is dangling around in the engine bay. so one day imma have to extend the wires and mount it somewhere. o yea you're gonna have to extend the power wires and route them thru the firewall to get the switch in the cabin. i suggest getting power thru the fusebox too. as for myself, uhm i tapped the interior fusebox but im soon gonna redo all my auxilliary lights so that they will be on their own seperate fused circuit.
