Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors, radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront). Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront). Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer products.

Sales People (be careful!)::
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords, questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple.. the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person) with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.

No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever! They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake! Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with the newest products.

Products in this article:

TOUCAN HEADLIGHT STROBE
Available in our NEON/STROBE department, (see storefront)

Special notes and warning about the products in this article:
Even though this product is marketed as a headlight strobe by the manufacturer, this strobe can be used in many security applications. For example, you can stick it in your domelight or a hidden area in your dash board for it to go off when your alarm sounds only. This will disorient persons breaking into your vehicle.
This product is mainly for SHOW USE ONLY. It should NOT be used in a vehicle driven on public roads. It is for Snow Plows, Off Road Use, Show or Custom car use, Construction vehicles, Snowmobile use and other applications. There is a 99% chance this product is illegal for use in your state. WE DO NOT ENDORSE THAT YOU INSTALL THIS PRODUCT for any other use than for security applications. The strobes shown in this article will only go off with the security alarm and only when it sounds. This attracts people to your vehicle. Even this type of installation may be illegal in your state, please check all state and city ordinances before ordering this product.

This product is unique, all you have to do is drill a hole, plunge the strobe in the hole, seal the hole and wire up the transformer. 12DVC. It is that simple.

'

First, we disassembled the tailight assembly. We wanted the strobes to go off with the alarm only in this civic coupe

We use our unibit drill bit and start to drill a hole carefully to mount the strobe light.

See how the light slips in?

We also drilled another hole so that the wires from the strobe will be held in without dangling and to make sure it cleared any bolts when we replaced the lamp assembly.

Wires coming through to be inserted into lamp housing.

Closeup of the wires ran through our second hole and the strobe being inserted.

Photo of the strobe installed and mounted. Thats it!
