I was wondering if this was a good idea (firebird)
So, the other day I was trying to think of more cool/weird things I could do with my car.... I have a Firebird so i've got those flip lights, wouldn't it be cool if i could activate a switch that makes my headlights alternate from each side going up and down. If anybody has an idea how to do this please help....!

My headlights do that when it's cold and that's totally unintentional. You'd end up with a winking car later.

you can buy a headlight waggle switch, then just convert it to handle the headlight relays instead of the lights themselves. remember, there is cool/weird and there is dumb/weird. you're straddling the line.

In stead of blowing out your headlight motors you can install wig wags. It’s a unit that you wire into your headlights and it’ll alternate the flashing of your lights.
The unit:
http://www.swps.com/headtailflas.html
In action:
http://media.putfile.com/Strobe-Lights (without the red and blue strobes)
They are emergency lights and you do need a permit for it, but you don’t need one to order them…

Putting an LS1 in it? Not ragging on you, but anyone who knows their stuff will know you don't have a TA when they hear your exhaust and will probably laugh at you. Not sure I would have done that man.

It's dumb, as you'll kill the motors, and I think it is illegal to have flashing headlights without a permit (EMT, etc.)_

it's also illegal to tint your windows, install an X or H pipe, remove catalytic converters and any number of other things that typically get done to 'custom' cars. that doesn't mean people won't still do it...
i was going to go with the waggle switch and clear halogen flashers in the four corners, but i think i am over that now. dunno, i might still do it. it's not something you can see unless you turn them on.
