I am sticking with warm and fuzzy, but hey.....thanks for alerting all of the Tennessee law enforcement community to be looking to give me a hard time!

| [quote:2f90e3a019=\"usdemt\"]That looks sharp, on and off. But tisk tisk on the white and blue, white to the rear, not a fan, and not so sure on the legalities of blue. Go red and amber that would look really good. |
Yeah, that is my intent but like I said, I just kinda threw some stuff together.
I am sure my quests will find me some more red and amber's so the white and maybe the blue's can be swapped out. |

[quote:ff62a3bf49=\"cbpdogboy\"]That looks really nice! So, when you lift the lid to the tool box, are the lights at an angle...are they mounted to the lid? That would look way cool!!!  |
Yes, they are mounted to the lid so if you open the box they are pointed skyward. |

A.) Nice Install. Clever
B.) I think it is excessive
C.) I don't see any point to mounting them to the lid (I see you don't have anywhere else to mount them). It defeats the purpose of having them if your tool box is open and they'll block the TIR3's on the 3rd BL. Taking away all of your rear lighting.
D.) I think you would have been better off putting two on the rear license plates and then putting a custom bar in the rear windshield. |

Maybe the blue??? What are you smokin?
You seem very willing to remove the legal clear LEDs but not willing to remove the illegal blue LEDs. This is beyond my understanding.
Just remember to say \"No officer, I do not wish to answer any questions without my lawyer\".

I posted to show some of you an install idea - not to seek elightbar forum approval, receive legal advice, or notification of local authorities.
Moderator - please delete thread. It isn't worth it. |

| just curious. Why did you decide to mount the TIR3's on the exterior of the 3BL? You know you can fit them on in the insides of the cargo light for a stealthier look. There's an install around here somewhere where some one did that. It looks very slick. |

I'll gladly lock the thread. What I don't understand why you come on a forum of public safety personnel (this includes law enforcement officials, ya know, cops, poh-leece, fuzz, five-0, pigs, coppers, bacon) and publicly display photographs of your illegal blue lighting on your personal vehicle and then whine when someone calls you out on it.
If you went inside a police station smoking a doobie would you whine after you got arrested? Probably so.
Thread locked.  |
