Default Strobe light hooked up to alarm siren

Call me crazy but i was walking through Pepboys and i saw this strobe light thing that was rather small for 10 bux. Had your typical ricer packaging but...i got to thinkin. Could i hook that up to the same wire that runs the siren so that it lights up when the siren goes off? That would look sweet at night and also offer an extra visual effect to the alarm.

Whaddya guys think??

Yes you can...I do it all the time. The more noise and attention...
the better chance you have. What you will need is a SPDT relay and
some wiring plus the knowledge and skill and its done.

have fun.

ive seen it b4 at school.. looks pretty interesting except the guy had it blinking when the car was just sitting not when the alarm was going off.. either way bring some sort of attention.

Just make sure it's well attached or the thief will just rip it straight off. Your battery will probably go flat too fast if you leave it on all the time but hooking it up to the siren is a good idea, makes it more difficult to see wires etc too.
