And here is another photo, showing the lens of the module (if that helps you Code 3 folks). They are the ones at the level sitting just above the blue "ID" lights.

I'm hoping to source some Code 3 LED-X modules that mount inside the OEM BMW lightpods on the R1200RT-P (2015 and newer) without paying BMW Motorcycle retail prices. I've always been a Whelen person, so I have no idea if these are standard Code 3 modules, or whether they are special built for...

At least in MA they are required. I've had an ambulance inspector take a tape measure to the 110v outlet to check that it's far enough away from the O2 regulator. ELECTRICAL 115 VOLT AC RECEPTACLES. The patient compartment shall be furnished with a pair of 2 wire plus ground duplex 115 volt AC...

I used the Rugged Ridge 3rd brake light extension. https://www.quadratec.com/products/12052_0900_07.htm?gclid=CjwKCAjwuqiiBhBtEiwATgvixPvU2K1ug2VHB0_os9DsiNFcCWn8sazMAU3AtBdYfoRBOk_TSnAAcxoCyuwQAvD_BwE You'll notice that I had to relocate the brake light to the center of the spare, but the...

Not a JL, or exactly your question, but I used an aftermarket CHMSL bracket to mount a feniex 400 to the back of a JK.

That’s a good question. I assumed the law was in place to assure that at least one light on the rear of the vehicle was only and always a brake light, and served no other duty. (Like how some brake lights double as turn signals.) Now I’m curious about the invention of the CHMSL and what the...

I thought it was related to the US Federal Regulation (NHSTA) that prohibits flashing the CHSML, or otherwise altering it so that it does something other than steady while brakes are applied.

This thread reminded me I had these photos I took many years ago deep in a basement at S&W's (then) R&D facility.

The vertex looking things are the Federal Signal Twist-n-Lock I mentioned. The whole vehicle is FS, which is a first for this dept. Was all Whelen on previous builds. https://www.fedsig.com/product/twist-n-lock-corner-leds

I’ve got this headlight unit on a PIU here. Date on the door frame is 08/17. The outer halo does not light up. There’s a FS Twist-n-Lock installed.

Nicely done! I'm currently spec'ing a Wrangler build myself. Could you provide descriptions/photographs of how you mounted the Fusion 800s to the windshield and rear hinges? Thanks!

I know a couple people who have them and love them. I consider trauma sheers to be in the "disposable" category of medical equipment, so I just assume grab a cheap pair if I need that functionality, and then not worry about decontamination or the like.

Took delivery of a cruiser in my town a few years ago that had similar problems with the CenCom... every time the radio was keyed the warning lights would turn off, then immediately turn back on after the radio stopped transmitting. The problem ended up being that the antenna coax was run...

Like I said, I haven't read any report, nor have I found any to read. All I know is that the driver who uploaded the vehicle, based on the commentary he added to it, thinks that when the agents first said "didn't you see the red light?" he thought they were talking about the Traffic Light, and...

The two big concerns are 1) color usage and 2) physical placement. If light heads of different colors are going to be physically close together, the key is to only flash one color at a time (to avoid "split fail"). As the physical separation between lights increases, so does the...

The driver clearly had a Green light, and the emergency vehicle clearly didn't make sure the intersection was clear and everyone was yielding before preceding. That said, the driver seems like a dummy. I saw the unedited dash footage a few days ago, and the emergency lights are clearly visible...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the major difference is that the housing for the PTW equipped vehicles has a clear outer lens, whereas the not-so-equiped vehicles have an amber outer lens. (When I *first* saw this option announced I hoped the clear outer lens would be the giveaway that...

Whelen HALO: As stated, designed for CV reflector assemblies. Plug-and-Play in those models. Highly effective but cost prohibitive and technically a challenge to adapt to other vehicles. Whelen HAW: Predecessor to Vertex. Requires external flasher module. My understanding is that...

This is just what happens when you put things into the air stream. There are some common things that can cause a whistle (as opposed to straight wind noise). Generally whistles come from small cracks/separations. Places to look would be tiny gaps between brackets, separation between lenses...

I remember these when the new PI's were announced... along with integrated LIN warning lights into the side mirrors. I've been wondering why I hadn't seen more units come with them, especially unmarks. I suppose if they have to be ordered from the factory, and no one really knows it's an...

In my experience, and others in this thread may very well have a different view/experience on it, but this is generally how the public thinks: "Police": "Ranger": Sometimes when there exists a strong perception, wording can make a huge difference, even if to us the distinction is...

I'm going to take a copout here by saying that I'm too lazy/tired to find the references (although I know Rand published work on it), but the short-of-the-long-of-it is that the tort system in the United States is not only *not* overloaded, but there doesn't exist any real evidence to suggest...

Sounds like his gripe is that he believes rescuers/officials didn't check to make sure he was still in the vehicle initially, and that his rescue was delayed until someone realized he was actually in there. Additionally it sounds like he feels the local government didn't do a good enough job...

I can not wait.

I think you mean "final drive *failures*" (where the gears just destroy themselves... ...but even then, I think it's basically the only real weak spot in that generation, and a small number of people with disposable income and access to message boards have made it sound like a much bigger...

I don't watch NASCAR... or any other racing series, but I've seen similar bars like that before on Pace cars. They always appear to be some weird clear bubble dome thing with smaller lightheads mounted inside. Custom jobs. Never anything commercially available. I agree with you that it seems...

Outstanding vehicle, but more importantly, it's outstanding the progress your agency is making.

Exactly. So it's hard for the U.S. to get pissed at Mexico, and make an issue of it, if we appear to be just as guilty of it. That's the point of the State Dept's position.

Just playing the devil's advocate here... The issue for the Dept of State is that if other countries don't believe that we are honoring the agreement to con solute services for their citizens arrested here, then there is a potential that countries will stop honoring the same services to...

You've certainly got a point... I think my point was more along the lines of: Building a firetruck: How big do you want this compartment? Where exactly do you want it? How long do you want the truck to be? Do you want a ladder on the top of it? Which end do you want it to hang off of...
