My shop has been using the Firewire LED product. We have done a bunch on rockers and strips, everybody we do them for LOVES THEM. All rockers are delivered with the vehicle specific brackets, and really do a nice job

I see people bragging about the fire wire strips, but I never see videos taken in daylight from anything more than 20 feet away.
Despite multiple requests for such a video I'm still waiting.

My opinion is IF you are going to use rocker strips please use them as extra warning NOT primary.

I've seen the HG2 lights in person and they are the biggest waste of ever.

I think those type of products the same as any hide away led... a waste of money they are just good little twinkle twinkle lights from up close and make the car look "cool" but don't add any real warning power ESPECIALLY if your supervisor orders the split versions.

I posted it last weekend... here's the link.
The rocker lights are by Firewire. The ones in this video were spray tinted to keep low profile... per customer request. However without the tint they still pack a punch

I like the center console.. rather OEM looking.

Thanks for posting a daylight video. Your build looks clean and neat.

From what I can see they are visible at least up close. Still not any more impressed with them then I have been with HG2. At lest they have a headlight flasher so people can see him coming.
