When I will use them I have no idea, I am sure they are completely illegal though. O'well maybe I can use them at the next ralley.

Those would be great for those out-in-the-middle-of-the-woods all night ravers!!!

I would use em anytime I was parked on the side of the road. (like changing a tire on a little old lady's car) Most folks can't drive anymore. A friend was changing a tire for someone on the side of the road...he was reaching into the trunk for the tire... 1/2 a second later the car was rearended by a careless driver 2" more to the right and my friend probably wouldn't be here today. Anyway.. I try to help when I can, and I would use any advantage that I could.

Those are cool.

LOL, that's pretty cool.
Got any pics of where they are installed.
Your Jeep might end up on some UFO sightings show.

It's a scary affair to stop and help someone on the road. I work in law enforcement, and in the past five years I've been hit by vehicles twice. Thankfully it was nothing serious, but it could have been if I had not been paying more attention. I guess any emergency lighting is better than nothing, but the drunks will still crash into you, and it seems like some people are attracted to flashing lights like a moth to a flame. The only thing I can suggest to do while running strobes would be the same thing I'd suggest to anyone stopped on the road. NEVER TURN YOUR BACK TO TRAFFIC! lol...

Are you going to put the strobes in your auxiliary lights?
