Dude, throw a set of LEDs in your turn signals in the back, and they'll almost strobe! And since there's no d.o.t. flash rate the po's won't bother you about it. They flash so damn fast, and since they're leds there's no fade, just onoffonoffonoffonoff rearry rearry fast! Looks killer.

I just drilled out the center with a step bit and cut the tabs with a dremel, it melted more plastic than it cut, but it fits snug and it's crazy weather-tight.
