need some suggestion on this alarm deterrent

[thaster 10+ year member]

i was thinking about putting some blinding lights in my car as a deterrent. the lights would turn on when the alarm is trigger thus blinding any thief who try to steal my shit. is this possible? sound like a good investment? anybody else did this before?

i got 5 mini piezo sirens in my car already. im thinking this could be another deterrent since sight>hearing

definitely , use some bright as strobes and put some on the outside also so everyone can see them . . do you have a transponder ? also use a proximity sensor ! !

make the lights as bright as you want but during the day they'll probably be useless. Unless you crammed flood lights in there which would look retarded and how are you planning on powering everything? doesn't seem like it will warrant the effort or space

i have seen circuits that takes a regular disposable camera flash light and convert it to 12v dc. so i was thinking i could use a relay and install like 4 of these camera flash lights in my car that only triggers when my alarm goes off. this sounds possible?

definitely possible, just wire it to the siren output
