Looks pretty well lit up already. The Dominator will fill the rear window nicely. Good install Jay :thumbsup:

 

[THEFLASH]

Hahahahahaha!!! I was reading what was installed while the vid loaded and im not gonna lie, the christmas music threw me off a bit! Nice install though!

 

[grantnet10]

Looks good. I used the childseat restraint bolts and the L brackets to mount my dominator. Worked amazingly well.

 

[Hoff]

Are those split heads in tail lights or is it 4 vertexs? I like how it looks! The fog lights look very bright too.

 

[jprleedy4680]

I'm not normally a fan of visor lights, but I like this whole setup. Fits the vehicle well.

thanks everyone.. !!!


i am going to use the same way to put the dominator, those plastic clips are in the right spot to mount the dominator.....


yes they are split vertex's r/b in 1 unit


honestly i dont usually like visor lights,b/c i like my lights in the center or even ( 1 on each side)


but with the limited space in the escape that visor light fits it well

 

[bwoodruff]

Very nice looking setup. I was thinking about a Ford Escape, but was concerned about the apparent lack of available room to mount radios and switch boxes. Any comments on that?

 

[MEVS06]

Very nice

 

[VolEms]

I like the rear vertex slow single flash pattern just like the NYPD. When u finishing the install.

 

[twodogs603]

The Vertex's in the fog lights really throw a punch. I like the pattern of light it projects on the road. Looks cool. Good job.

 

[factorone33]

I dig it. The Vertexes in the fog lights really have a lot of punch. Did you drill those into the reflectors, or just replace the bulb outright? I can't tell from the pics/vid (I'm blind as hell). The Dominator to the rear should fill it out nicely.

 

[911]

it does have some room, if you are a person who wants to put a few radios,swtichbox,siren then i would say put the havis console in..


i am putting a remote mount radio,and my siren/light control is handheld, so i got all the room i need.......


i did drill into the reflector for the vertex's.......


i am going to finish the install once the dominator arrives...... i might add some intersectors to the roof racks as well..as i seen a suv with them today and it looked great........

+1 for the music


+1 for the front flash patterns


Suggestions:


1. How about something on dash? Single Talon/Avenger in red would go nicely. Then you'll have every level covered.


2. 10-75 bracket (or push bumper)


3. Strobe pattern for rear vertexes, slow pattern for back window

i do have a red/red dual viper, i had it mounted temporarily....im not crazy how it looked......i may put a slimlighter tho.....


strobe pattern on the back vertex's was a no go......they started to look purplish..... this was the most effective pattern......

 

[jprleedy4680]

Any update(s) coming in the near future?

 

[TheGatekeeper]

Looks really neat.

I am geting ready to put some hide-a-ways in my f-150 fog lights as well...may i ask where you put yours in the light (top, bottom, a side)? Also, what did you use to drill the holes (special bit or tool) Looks great btw!

 

[911]

right above the stock bulb.... just a regular bit

 

[911]

ok, earlier in the week, i added 2 dual vipers in the rear, but the top part of the rear hatch was blocking them too much.


so i took 1 out, and moved the other to the middle, it sits alot better..... i just have to add a 1/2" bushing tomorrow to lower it a bit and it will be have a bit more clearance, here is a little video how it looks now...

 

[Smebdysme1]

I drive a 2010 escape and was looking into the Ions for the grill. How did you mount those?

 

[spc2315]

Looks clean nice install. Seeing all these vids of escapes is getting my excited to get mine and install everything. How do you like the vehicle? How does it ride? Gas mileage?

 

[Luismariadarlene]

looks good.

 

[KRC845]

Very nice! Can't wait to actually get mine finished!

 

[NJEMT]

Can you post a better pic of the vertex's in the fog lights, i want to put some in there and it does not look like there is enough space.

I am not sure if I want to put vertexes in mine or replace the whole light with PAR 28. Either way it will be white and I think the 28s would be too bright.

 

[911]

i recently changed the siren to a federal signal PA-650 nypd spec model, removed the dual viper from the rear


and i added a ram mount ipad holder ...

How do you like it? I was thinking about getting one but had heard complaints that it isn't very stable (shakes, especially when using the touch screen).

 

[911]

so far so good, i do notice it shake a bit, but not enough to bother me.......... as you drive it shakes, but when still i didnt find it to be a big problem......

 

[jprleedy4680]

Where did you mount your siren amp? Looking to pick up a remote unit for my POV in the near future.

How do you like the home patrol?

 

[911]

today i put on a setina PB400 !!!

 

[Tom]

How do you like the HH siren? PB looks nice too

 

[911]

thanks tom , the galls model was horrible, i replaced with the 650 nypd spec model. its not bad, but its not worth the price they ask for it !

 

[AllStrobedUp]

The old siren amp you had was a star lcs869 with a galls sticker.

 

[pdk9]

PB looks good! Now all u gotta do is add some blinkies to it, so that it doesn't look naked!


Can you give us a demo vid with the NYPD spec siren?

As a star dealer i am well aware thanks
