Thread: HAW/LAW placement

Does anyone have suggestions or pictures of LAWs in a an 2006 Camry
Thanks!

Grommet mount strobe tube HAW in front turn signal reflector. Gives great throw to the side for intersection warning. Can be drilled without having to remove the light housing from the vehicle. Use a vacuum to suck out any shavings but be careful not to push out the diffuser in the lens if you stick anything inside the hole to try and remove shavings. I sealed mine with clear silicone around the grommet and have had zero moisture problems even after DEEP water crossings, winter snow, etc.

Hi DH,
Thanx, from the picture i cant tell where or what direction the headlight is in the picture??
Nolo

I will be putting some fienix fairy law's in my buddy's 08 or 09 Dodge 3500. My questions to all you guys on here is has anyone done this? Placement for the law's in the headlights?
My buddy wants them in the headlights and tail lights. The tail lights don't look like a problem cause they will be going in the back up light area.
Any help on this would be great! Thanks in advance fellas!

personally I'd install them in the side marker area, not the actual headlight reflector. Less chance of them being washed out by the headlights.

Anyone have pics and videos of HAW LED in the front and rear of 2005 Ford Explorer?

With the 06-07 Chargers are the taillights double walled? And does anyone have pics of the taillights with LAWs in them?

Anyone have ideas for HAW strobe tube placement in the headlight housings on a 2004 Ford F150? I just got mine, its not new, but it's new to me. I don't want to put the strobes in the driving/fog lights, as they are too low to the ground, but want something that will give good corner lighting and some forward.

Thanks for any pics or ideas......

Generation 4 Taurus.... I have seen a few departments put the strobe tubes in the bottom of the HL. This confused me because they would have to drill a hole in the fiberglass housing underneath the headlight. The headlights are double walled , and this is making a shitty placement for strobes.

Is this the best placement I can get? The strobe is already pushed down on by the hood, so i cant put it any further up to be directly above the HL.



Thanks!

i personally like to mount the strobes on the bottom when i can near the back of the reflector. one reson is that water is less likely to get in the housing

I'd like to but I just need to decide if I want to drill holes in the fiberglass under the headlight.

Putting LAW's in reverse lights of a 2012 Grand Cherokee, what's the best placement in the housing for them?

as close to the oem bulb as pussible. That's where the light disperses best

I have seen some people put HAW strobes in the 3rd brake/ cargo lights on there pickups. I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on doing this. I know HAW strobes produce a lot of heat and that space is pretty small so I would be concerned about melting the cover. I know LED HAWS would be better however I have a Whelen 6/90 power supply and only have 4 strobes running right now. Truck is a 2003 ram 3500. Just wanna see if anyone has any advise or first hand experience with this.

It'd be a no go here. You're not supposed to mess witht he 3rd brake light in Arkansas.

Picked up a set of NIB red code 3 LAWs that are built for a cvpi. Wasn't a deal I was going to pass up. I know they're designed for a cvpi, but I was gonna try to use them on my Charger. If I can't get them in the tail lights, I was going to look at putting them on the back of the B pillar or license plate. I read earlier here, something about putting the same color led as the light that it's going in. Did I read that right? put a red LED behind a red brake light filter? And out of curiosity, why?

This thread is half trashed, but give it a full read over- your answers are contained in there.

I did. The only post concerning my question was the one that spawned it. I was asking for confirmation of that.

Dusty I wasn't talking about the red part in the third brake light I was talking about the clear cargo light on either side of the brake light. Sorry for any confusion I should have been more clear. Would still like to hear some info on this though.

My bad bro.

Does any one have a suggested place to put a LAW in the rear tail lights of a 2007 Dodge charger? How bout in a 99 explorer? Looking at upgrading my set up but I'm quite nervous about screwing up

LED HAWs woork good on misc. fog lights too...





And here's a quick vid...

Has anyone ever put strobe HAWs in the reverse light of an older Chevy silverado/tahoe/suburban? Mine is a 99, and I'd like to put HAW strobes there, but just don't know if there is enough room.

Thanks,
Dan

For he Taurus, we've had the tubes in the bottom of the headlight (pointless, really) and a cople in the turn signals which looked pretty good. The outer plastic was cut with a larger hole, then the 1" for the tube.

Does anyone take requests?

I know there are a ton of 07+ Tahoe's out there, so hopefully someone can chime in. I have 6 Whelen LAWS in RRRRWW and would like to place the 4 reds in the brake/tail lights and the whites in the reverse lights. If not that, at least 4 in the back and 2 up front in the headlights. Does anyone have pics of LAWS in a Tahoe tail light assembly?

My other concern is if having the LAWS in the rear lights would be noticeable or look bad. The Tahoe's have a relatively clear housing and it seems like they might stand out (or maybe it's just me because we know what to look for!). Thanks!

BUMP!

I wish this thread could get cleaned up... This thread was designed for pics only, not everyones requests...

Post your hide away mounting spots here. Keep it limited to a picture with a year/make/model and maybe a little blurb about it.
