Hey guys, some might remember my constant questions about my previous PPV's MX7000 bar, but I was just recently upgraded to a 2008 Vic with the Excalibur style bar. Our department decided to set it up in the following manner when it was new.

The upper domes are filled with (8) Code 3 Optix (the 3 headed ones), 4 facing front, 4 facing rear. The middle section has a red/blue mixture of the 3 headed Optix.
The lower dome has the nice Optix 6 in a diagonal setting that has pretty good side and frontal footprints for a TIR style. On each side of the lower section, (2) of the crappy PSE LC style (the one with 16 small LEDs) lights in RED face the front, and (1) on each side facing the rear with a Traffic Adviser filling the middle sections (all PSE LC style).
The only changes I've made thus far are moving 2 of the Optix 3's in the upper domes from the rear to the front for a bigger footprint, so now I have 3 on each side facing the front and 1 on each side facing the rear. I need some recommendations on how to fill the bar on a budget. I was thinking of purchasing 2 more of the Blue Optix6's and placing them in the lower section facing the front (replacing the outtermost LC style Reds, leaving 2 of the LC Reds towards the middle section). I can get a pretty good deal on (4) blue LEDX's for $25, figured they're better than the (6) Optix3's I have facing the front now and placing them in the upper dome, while moving the Optix3's back to the rear and maybe 1 on each side facing the side.
Honestly I'd rather get some nice Linear modules to fill the upper dome but I'm not really sure what's out there thats compatible (on board flasher, 2 wire setup with maybe a sync wire).
