Wig Wag lighting question!
Does anybody have any idea if i would be able to install a Wig Wag setup to my OEM factory bi-xenon 2014 led headlights? If anyone who doesn't know, a Wig Wag is a device that lets the lights flash in a strobe manner. What I am trying to accomplish is to have my [C] style LED's strobe as well as my DRL to strobe. Don't think I'm crazy, but I'm trying to find something unique to do to my cars lighting and the only thing I've thought about is either this or putting strobe lights in the grilles. I was thinking about the Illuminated star, but its too common, and I really wanted to do something different. Let me know....:thank you:

No- it is not recommended. HID lights seem to take longer to "light up" due to their design- that's why they don't use them for High-Beams. If you flash them- it is more of a draw and takes longer.

The DRLs might night be an issue since they are standard LEDs. I'm not sure what type of bulb the "C" Lights are, but I wouldn't take a chance. Why not install LEDs behind the grille?

I would but i don't know how to access the firewall on both sides so i can install the controller inside the car because if i were to get LED's inside the grill i would get the onces that strobe like cops have....im so freaking confused and cannot make up my mind. I went to an automotive lighting place here in NY and its $400 JUST to install LED's in the grill. price of the led's separate!

Why do you want them?

Not playing cop. I've already done everything possible to my car. Vinyled interior, changed every bulb inside and out, v1 install, black side mirrors, door handles, turn signals, tints, Grille vinyled, entire car chrome delete with gloss black vinyl. There's not an inch I haven't touched, altered, or changed. Down to the red calipers install, stock headlight HID bulbs, cornering bulbs and reverse bulbs changed. Main reason for some unique lighting is becuase I go to a lot of car meets in NY and I think some unique lighting would seriously make my car different. My Big Fin gloss black rear diffuser should be in the mail. X-pipe and cats delete as well.

With a reason like that, money should be no object. Find a local emergency vehicle builder (or ricer shop) and have them put strobes in every conceivable place.
That last thing I put wig-wags on was a 1976 Chevy C20 van, but that was being built into an ambulance.

Important question jay:
Should I go with a setup when I have LED's inside the grille. 2 in the front grill and 4 in the bottom grill of the w204 coupe?
Or
Would you rather have strobe clear side markers and taillights?

If I was building an Ambulance, I would put a set of teardrop rotating lights on the front fenders; however, if I was a ricer I would shoot myself.
Honestly, there are so many options for lighting these days, Just have fun till the budget runs out.
