Why do you need rear strobes for 360 ???
Wouldn't a TLF do the same trick without fighting the strobe bulbs, thats what i did for my buddy and it looks great no strobe tube peeking out of that clear red housing ?? !!!!!! |

Okay.... JUSt finished a major add-on, and wanted to share it asap. I will post daytime photos that wont be so crappy.....
I added quite a bit this evening.... I've had a lot of trouble punching through interections, and tired of the close calls....
Liberty bar added....
Changed Gen 1 Slimlighter to Gen 3 (went from red/red to red/white)
Added Dashlight
Added additional rear red in the deck....
Alley's and Takedowns are wired, and also setup the dim switch... cuz this thing is BRIGHT!
Now for those that told me to run the liberty harness to the rear of the car, and then come back up... wow.... too much extra work! I came down the passenger side towards the A-post... the channel was plenty big engouh, and was easy to work with and integrate with the existing system.....
And video... will have to shoot a daytime because the lights are so bright it simply destroys the video!

| Looks good, but overkill!! Either keep the lightbar and lose everything but the corner strobes, or lose the lightbar and keep everything else. Still a nice clean install though. |

 My retinas are burning! That set up looks almost identical to the Cornell University Campus Police. |

With the liberty on top I would think that would be all you need , Id get rid of all the dash lights ( not needed now ) I'd also get rid of some of those deck lights but keep the signal master.
Otherwise nice...

| I'd get rid of the dash lights as well. With the bar on top, the dash light is just a flash back distraction. No matter how well you shield it, at night, the light travels out on the plane of the glass windsheild. Also would consider taking the big clunky TA out of the back window-the bar should have TA functions. |

| If you have any "close calls" now through the intersections, the people might just deserve what they get... |

I'm not taking anything out... I like it!!! 
I've got daytime pics- I think you will see it's a clean install. It's onpar with my suburban now....
Now all I need to do is bring my Explorer up.... 
I *DID* h/u the dim button for night time runs.

On the Impala there is a tint that comes down to the mirror, and then goes back up. I am too tall to have the Slimlighter below the mirror. It is also off-set to provide coverage for the upcoming intersection- which isn't noticeable in the pic's.

Soooo, when are you going to be ready for one of these?
I have one, new and unused, that I can make you a sweet deal on. It's the 9", which is perfect and will work with your bench seat. The faceplates won't be exactly what you need, bit I can try to get as close as possible to what you'd need. Interested? PM me.

I am VERY interested. Please let me know how much. Is it a Havis or a Jotto?
As you can see, I don't have much going in it- just my kenwood and PA300 (I think that's what I put in iti- I'm so tired right now it isn't funny.) I also have the switches (two) for the traffic director. I'm not sure how we'd do that.
Does it take out the power points in the car- because I do need those power points- even if I relocate 'em.

Check this link out and see what it takes to get it in your car. You can install a faceplate to have powerpoints and your switches for the TD. Take note of the retail selling price! PM me for a price if you're still interested.
