    The green is weird, but a nice install. The split light head decision wasn't the best, but it is a nice install.
    I don't like to consider myself a "volunteer", more like an un-paid professional.

    Obligatory "SPLIT FAIL!!" Too much going on in front, with too much color mixing everywhere.

    ...Yet the lightbar has a reasonably sensible flash pattern with a good, simple color setup. Overall I give it a C - the lightbar helps a lot.

    Finally glad to see the EMS world using the PPV instead of the SSV. If you're going to roll code, it might as well be in something that's faster, corners better and is less likely to flip. I've wondered why more EMS services that use the Tahoe pick the SSV instead. And of course since it's medical it's going to go lights and siren to everything, so might as well pick the one that will perform better.

    As far as the lights, it works. I personally would have picked different products and different flash patterns, but that's my preference.

    Is it me or does the light on the tailgate not go off when the tailgate is closed?

    +1 on the split fail. The person making the video says that the Liberty is a Duo, but it looks to me like it's only flashing one color. He also said the Dominator Plus bars were Dominators (I suppose one could argue they are...)

    The PPV isn't available with 4 wheel drive, which is probably a significant factor. If you aren't worried about 4x4 versus 4x2, then the PPV is just fine.

    D8 should be a TA with R & B ends. The green module looks obnoxious and out of place. Combine that with the purple effect from the alternating RB...ick.

    I like white LAW's, not colored.

    Aside from that, I think it's a good job. I can even tolerate the split M4's on this.
