Default Hid strobes

Is it possible to run a strobe kit to you HIDs. I have the 10000k and I think it would be bad *** to have the hooked up to a strobe kit for car shows and all. So do any of yall know if the HID bulbs can handle that kind of lighting?

I don't know for a fact but... IMHO FWIW... Seems like a bad idea and would likely kill the HIDs early...

You can get a kit like this http://www.ledunderbody.com/4pc-hid-...light-kit.aspx

As far as trying to make your current HID's into strobes......it will greatly reduce the life of the bulbs and components.
