Default Strobes in headlights of an 06

Snows coming and it's time for strobes and the plowing. My question is, how/where is a good spot to mount them in the headlights. I already put them in my taillights reverse lense. I'm using whelen competitor 90w. They use a 1" hole. Can anyone help?? I'm stumped with this.

The headlights are double walled so it will take two steps. In the bottom of the housing use a 1.5" hole saw w/ pilot bit to go through the outer housing. After get out your 1" and go through the reflector. Once the strobe is in silicone the hell out of the outer hole so no moisture gets in there.

I am not responsible for any damage done to your lights. Just advice.

Good luck

Why headlights?? I wouldn't want to ruin my headlights. Why not some weather proof strobes from advance in the grill, and maybe some on your mirrors or something.

I would say those would do. Put some on your mirror struts if they'll fit, and maybe up on the wiper cowl so it will be above the plow, might get some glare though. I just can't see drilling holes in my headlights. If you're plowing won't your headlights be blocked anyway??

I have been looking into this. Either led add ins in the grill or strobe the turn signals. I have white LED turn signals.

Id just do the mirrors and the ones in your grill, those should be enough. I'd do the fogs before i did the actual headlights. If you want some up higher, then go get the strobes that suction to your windshield and plug in, that will get you light above the plow and that would be plenty.
