Strobe Light Kit

I have a 2002 Sierra Z71 OFF ROAD ext. cab and I want to put hide away strobe lights in my truck. I seen them on Ebay but I want one that is remote so I don't have to be in the truck to use it ( I can stand outside my truck and turn them on). Anyone got any ideas.

I'd set them up to run off a relay that can be activated remotely, ie a key fob.

Thank for the reply but I'm not sure what you mean or how to do it.

You would buy and install your strobe light kit but rather than running the strobes through a switch you run them through a relay that can be turned on/off using a wireless transmitter. I'm sure if you do some searching online someone makes a wireless relay set-up.

This one looks much better. The one I'm looking at is on ebay and it has 8 bulbs and 7 or 8 different strobe flashing, not sure if I mentioned this earlier but I can install the strobes into my truck and get them running but the wireless stuff I have no idea on how it work or how to hook it up so all the strobe flashes work from the remote, sorry but I just don't understand

Rather than hooking the strobes up to a switch in the cab to turn them on/off you wire them through the relay. Then you turn them on/off using the remote key fob. The relay kit should come with directions on how to wire the lights through it.

Ok thanks I will send an email to the seller to find out some of the things about it, and again thanks so much, once I get them up and working I will post a video of them
