Stobes Installed and look great...

My F-250SD has strobes in Headlights, Front Marker/Turn, Reverse, and Tail/Brake Light.

I chose to go with a Flange Mounting design that would facilitate removal if it was ever needed. Install time was about 30 minutes for all the light assemblys including removal and re-installation. Can't tell they are there unless you look real close.

Strobes

Just drilled a hole using a step bit near the rear bottom of the light. I used a little silicon for water tightness but also made it removable for easy replacement. Actually the rear lights were harder do to the curved housings.

Sent from my iPhone.

The previous models were very easy to install. I think he is referring to his '00 model year. Those were super easy to install, not a 30 minute total job to complete all 4 corners, plus mount the power supply and run the wiring though.

The newer style looks to be a little different. I haven't looked at the rears yet on mine, but the fronts are sure a different design than previous years in regards to construction.
