Below is a demo of sorts on the Feniex A/W Apollos that are mounted to my rear bumper and wired into my reverse lights.


In this first pic, you can see the garage in my driveway. Garage is approx 25 ft away. First pic is flash only, no secondary lighting.

Now with Apollos and stock Reverse Lights, same distance, NO flash

Are those Sho-me flashers the 11-1005SF's?

I feel it's very important that the colour of the bar match that of the vehicle.

Videos very painfully uploaded. Had to get to a PC, upload to youtube via email from my phone, then manually type in the links. I have one more but for some reasons its refusing to cooperate so Ill try it again later. One video is at the top under my first post. Again, this is only the beginning of the install, I will keep you folks posted as it progress's.

This is not the final version: will be adding Feniex Cannons to both the fog lights as well as the reverse lights, and swapping the rear TIR3 with B/W apollos. The D2's will get the lenses smoked and will be tied in with Cannons for a nice "X" pattern. I will also add more pics as I go.


Other mods will include some type of push bumper or grill guard, plasti-dipped rims and grill, and some off road lighting. Also intend to swap out the Sho-Me flashers for Whelen ULF's so that the 2 seperate colors can sync on the rare occasion they arw used together. Also going to swap out the FS SW200 for either a Whelen PCC8R or a Sho-Me Remote Panel.


Anyone who hasnt gotten themselves hooked on Feniex (see wut I did thur?) is selling themselves short.


Have updated since OP, SXTDLED's added to the Libby and Galls Street Thunder XL-400 has replaced my Fed Sig SW

Thread about to be overhauled slightly as progress has taken place.


Operation cannon was a 75% success. I swapped the stock front turn bulbs for A/W cannons, was hoping I could get away with not using a resistor, but alas, I cannot.


Stay tuned folks :thumbsup:

I am intrigued to see how this came out because I was going to do the same on my Patriot

Looks good. I like the way the T/A uses half of the LIN head for the ends.
Glad you like it. I was sceptical about the CON3s at first, but I gotta say, for the TA function they are impossible to miss even in broad high noon daylight.

The cannons are amazing little lights! I've been installing them on some pickups at the FD and just amazed at their performance. I'm fixing to retrofit an old strobe supply on a truck and replace with the cannons. Should be a night and day difference!

I been thinking about a pair of amber white Apollo's and using the white as reverse lights.  Is the amber brighter in person then it looks in the video?

Truck looks good.

Updated; due to a varying number of reasons, I un-installed alot of my lights, and am in the process of rebuilding.


Id like some comments here, due to a member of the board who will remain nameless (cough Timmah, cough) :haha: Ive had oddles of ideas floating through my head. I took in a really nice, loaded MX7k, and am torn as to whether I want to pimp out the bar and make use of it. The upside is it screams at you, theres no way you could miss this thing when on, and it blends very nicely with the contours of my Jeep. The downside is, its about as high profile as they get. So what say you all? Yay or nay on the MX? (pay no mind to colors or how its set up, I simply threw it up there to figure out how itd look and if Id want to use it)

Tentative Bar Setup


First, Im disgustingly torn whether to use rotators or not. While I like and dont mind color filters, I again do alot of interstate travel and most of that is into states where blue (my FD/EMS color) is LE only, and I do NOT want to use one of those OOS bags. But darn if they arent effective, totally under used anymore and eye catching. IF I opt to use them, they'll be outboard slow rotators. If not, Im looking at either 2100 or 2700 corners. Not sure about inboard yet. It the lower level where things get wicked sweet.


So Ill be doing HAWs in my turn signals (for S/G), so I thought Id do a pair of strobes flanking my center section for a nice strobe "X" pattern between upper and lower levels. Doing Blue TIR6 or Apollos outboard, and MIGHT gut my 800 and use those double stacked (4 heads total) in lieu of the centers takedown lights, and keep a pair of halogen TD for heat in hopes of offsetting colder temps and its effect from ice/snow. Likewise I have a halogen alley on each side, and am thinking of doing the other 4 titan heads as additional alley lighting. For the rear I have a CON3 amber TA courtesy of TritonBoulder47, flanked by rear halogen work lights.


So, whatcha all think? Thoughts, comments, concerns? Ideas? Help me build this beast MUAHAHAHAHAHA
