Question Strobe pics

Any builder pictures or websights that show a strobe light mounted in the top of the Vertical Stablizer? Looking into this option and would like to see what others have done.

Default tail top strobes

I don't know if this is helpful or not but I've been in a cherokee 180 with a strobe in the top of the tail and night flying is the pits. That strobe flashing off those white wings was terrible. My wife was in the back seat and she said it gave her a bad headache. My tail strobe is going in the lower rear of the rudder. If your wings will be painted a darker color - it may not be a problem.

As Robert said, Why would you want it on top of the rudder as it would light up the cockpit when it flashed. Put them out in the wingtips and on the bottom of the rudder. Don
