You won't be able to unless you get Projector conversion headlights. Right now your jeep is running those glass seal beam lights which are impossible to drill without damage... So you're SOL'd for the headlights. What I did to install my strobes was I drilled into the front turn signals (under the headlights). The lenses are clear so you get the same effect as you would with headlights.

Yea it would work with a 1" hole... you just have to drill from the side.. Directly abpve you might hit the turn signal bulb. My 93 i did in the driving lights and drilled the hole from the fender in. If your looking at the front of the jeep the strobes would be on the outside corner of the parking lights pointing inwards.
The ones of the site are nice.. small and wide..They should fit in good..
And sorry i dont have pics of my old 93... totaled about 6 years back.

My bulbs are Xenon HIDs that are about the size of a small christmas tree light bulb. I drilled a hole that was a little larger than the bulb so it was something between 1/4 in and 1/2 in. Your strobes are HUGE!! You almost have to use a hole saw for that one hahaha. It'll work no problem my strobes work and they're tons of fun to use when i'm parked at places (where it's legal to use in michigan: I love my state lol)

I just run em because they were only $10 at autozone with the bulbs and the harness and they even came with a speed controller. I have two sets of offroad lights on my XJ as of now. As soon as my roof rack is on, I'll be running 6 sets off offroad lights and my strobes which will make me look like a rolling las vegas. I just like to mess around with lights at night. It gives me something to do lol

yea the correct way to do this is 1 inch whole saw bit lol
best part about it is i have 2 power supplys now so now imma put 1 stobe in each blinker and once i get my HID conversion kit then ill have a strobe in each headlight
thing is idk where to mount my power supply the other one lol i have 1 in the rear cubby and the other idk where else

I bought a cheap set of real slim driving lights (glass lense, metal case) and removed the bulbs from them. I then opened the hole up big enough to put my strobe bulbs in and sealed them. I'm using a whelen 90 watt power supply, these things are BRIGHT.
I'll try to get pictures of them tomorrow and post for you.
