    98 Ford Ranger POV ( Updated 5/4/12 )

    I wanted to keep my setup simple. I'll need a better switch panel at some point and a siren when I have the money because my wife grounded me from the debit card lol. I still have to add grill lights ( MAYBE ) which will be Feniex Python T-4's probably. Like I said. It's nothing fancy and the 911EP ( thing pisses me off with the wiring setup on it ) in the rear window went low because I didn't have brackets to mount it high up, so I used 90 degree L brackets ( looks better than it sounds and it's very sturdy ).

    Like you said, its not a lot of lighting, but you've done Ok with what you have. My opinion I would add a HLF & HAWs in the rear lights before adding grille lights.

    I like it. Simple but effective. I would have to second the motion on HLF. For about $70-100 you can add headlight and taillight flashers which provide a lot of warning power for low cost.

    Update 4/29/12

    I was recently promoted and issued District plates. Here is my simple upgrade. The rear is still all blue for now.

    I tried to get them to flash back and forth between red and blue like the dash, but they don't have the pattern. Kinda sucks, but I got those lights in the grill for 30 bucks a piece because they were demos.

    No, they are district issued and owned plates, not personalized.

    So sell them for $40 and get a pair of solid-color grille lights instead.
    Fewer, slower, bigger. (Usually.)

    Never link images from www.policecarwebsite.net! Always re-host them with Photobucket, Imgur, or the elightbars attachment thing.

    Turned out to be a bad light. Replaced it and they alternate now. Here is the new video.
