you get what you pay for. if you want a minor strobe that can barely be seen you can find those strobe kits at, pep boys.
now you may not want to dish out the 280 bucks for the emergency vehicle strobe lights, but they are much brighter. i got mine from sound off inc.( http://www.soundoffinc.com/ ). they light up my whole street. and you can choose the pattern in which they flash

but to answer your question some drilling is required. i had to drill a hole in my headlights to get the bulb in. in the back i just took out my reverse bulb and put the strobe bulb in there. the wiring is quite easy. one line to the battery, which goes to a switch so that you can turn them on and off. and then a ground wire. i recomend that you also get a fuse.

and your reverse lights still work??

they work, just not in the sense that they let people know im backing up. theyre just kinda hanging there behind the carpet in the trunk

thats why i always reverse into a parking spot now so i dont have to worry about people not seeing me back out of a parking space
who needs em anyway :o

do u have any leak probs with ur headlights now that u drilled them?? sorry about all the questions but im tryin to avoid problems.

i dont mind the questions.
i havent seen any problems with leaking. ive washed my car more then once since ive had them, and i was looking for an leaking, as that was a concern of mine as well. the kit came with this rubber piece that surrounds the headlight, and i didnt think that was enough but so far its done its job well. i might put some slicon or something around it though just in case, cant be too careful.
