What are the lights by the rearview mirror? It looks like the one is doing an arrow pattern to motion people to pull over? Could just be the iPhone used to film it...

Its on steady burn not arrowing. Just the iphone camera not catching it properly.

All of the lights in the front window are whelen single talons non-sync. The video makes the one look like its doing a traffic advisor but its actually doing a steady burn blue.

Nice install. Are they take home cars and do you have free reign? But it is a video fail... Always take photos and videos sideways.

I always thought you guys had pool cars, but I'm glad you get to take it to the house. The new graphics are a huge improvement.

The old cars were beat the hel;l up.


IMO, a bit much in the rear, and I am a fan of uniformity in the flash patterns. All in all, not bad. My personal preference would be something like the Strobes-n-More dual color light bar on the deck in blue/amber for a traffic advisor type light.


Still, good stuff.


+1 on the New Striping. Much, much better.

I've brought this up before, but got told I'm silly. Steady burning LED is not real. They blink at a very rapid rate, that the eye does not detect. I've noticed this effect while watching Top Gear on BBC. Almost every LED tail light, and DRL caught on video is blinking. There is also a video on YouTube of a veyron in Dallas with the taillights blinking.


At first, I thought it might just be shutter speed of certain cameras, but I'm not so sure of that after seeing 'patterns' on Mercedes DRLs on TG. This steady blue giving an arrow boosts my thoughts.

At the 43 mark, while in reverse, the brake lights come on and you can see they blink.

35 mark, amber running light on the right side is blinking...

This is the City of Macon. Although I'm pretty sure there is Macon County elsewhere in the peach state
