So much for the install plans being classified!
Definitely a good start. Can't wait to see the finished install! How much did you end up paying for the Tahoe? I might be looking at getting something similar in the coming months and get rid of my Silverado. |

Nice Ride man, love the black.
I wish that I could get a Whelen Inner Edge in my 2004 Yukon, but there is not enough room.
Do you already have a DX5?? |

| I like it, Me personally I would lose the rims before you ruin them. I cant believe how bright those HAW's are in a housing that is fully relfective. They are brighter than mine. |

Here is the next step i installed the slimlighters i had above my rvm, i have them wired to a sho me flasher because i wanted to be able to change the pattern as i please, didnt feel like taking them apart to put the flashers back in, and i need to have everything synced. My 8 head dominator should be in this week, rear rear deck arrow stick has a newer smaller lower profile housing, it is still a 6 head, i should hopefully have most of the housing complete, it wont go in until i build the console.

It is safe to say you will not be missed on the road.
Why the powercall if it is all blue? Demo? |

Dodd...you will NEVER have enough lights.
When are you going to put two red HAW LED's in my foglights. Getting the itch after seeing the Tahoe. |

Ryan,
Looks good so far..... My only question is why the 2 sets of wires coming from the Slimlighter? Are both modules powered independently?

| on my old truck (99 durango) i had the slimlighters gutted and had them wired to a 4 head dominator flasher when they were above my rvm. I wanted complete control of all of the new lights in the truck so i let the separate wire and wired them to a sho me flasher. |
