What is everyone's thoughts on an interior light bar on a truck/suv the size of a Dodge 1500 or Ford? What bar would fit the best and not show as much when in the vehicle?

For me it depends on the traffic..If its a heavy traffic area I would go with a lightbar on the roof..For interior the whelen inner edge is good and the soundoff pinacle is also very bright...Just my .02

The reason I'm asking is because I currently have a Liberty and don't like the color arrangement on it. So instead of replacing the modules I am thinking of trading it in for an interior bar. Just something that does not show so much while you're in the vehicle.


P.S. I have a dodge 1500.

If I do this it won't be for a few months, even a year. I am just getting the opinions of others, maybe of those with a 1500 themselves. Or hell I most likely will just keep my Liberty and just change the colors. Options, options, options :undecided:

I agree with him on the lightbar. All of the major brands are good and some of the off brands are OK. Just depends on what you want to spend. Before you buy one ask yourself, how well will this be seen in traffic and at intersections in bright sunlight.

My way of thinking is along the lines of these other fellas, plus think of gas. An interior bar isn't going to cut down on your gas mileage, but the Liberty would. Just weigh out the risks and benefits of either one. I have only seen the SVP Gen I Phantom and the StarBurst Phantom in person, and the StarBurst is super bright. But mind you, those are the only two I have seen in person.


I would personally go with interior, for the reason of saving gas, and people not tearing up your truck because they it's a police vehicle (actually happened to a friend).

I really only get 2mpg less with the Liberty, so I don't see that as a problem. And trust me it looks far from a police vehicle :haha: .
