    Using 12v relay to switch ground

    Hi all, I'm attempting to switch two red/white Whelen dome lights that are ground side triggered (3SRCCDCR). I wired two standard N.O. Tyco 5 pin relays (one per color) like this: Everything works, but the relays make a god awful noise when the system powers up with ignition. It's a loud...

    Whelen ION TRIO "old" vs "new" models

    I'm a bit confused. I received two used universal mount ION TRIOs and they seem to be a bit different than my other ones. All my other units have individual control wires for each color, with the color of the wire matching the color that will be enabled. These two units have different colored...

    Wanted WTB: 1 Whelen ION I2D / XI2D and 2 IONV3R / XONV3R

    Looking for one Whelen ION Duo R/W, clear or smoked, and two red ION V-Series, clear or smoked. Universal mount only. I'd take a pair of ION trios, either R/B/W or R/A/W, instead of the Duo. These lights don't have to come with any hardware. I have plenty. Thanks in advance, Dave

    Vertex Duo's

    I've looked everywhere and can't find the answer to my questions. I hope it hasn't been hashed out already. Is the Vertex duo still a 6 LED unit? Are the LED's themselves dual color, so that you get all six illuminated per flash or are they simply just 3 one color and 3 another? The latter...

    2020+ Ford Explorer (civ) Marker/Fog light Flashing

    Hi all, Browsing YouTube the other night at work I came across this video by FNG Performance, an upfitter in Pensacola Florida. In the video it shows two 2020+ XLT Civ Explorers with both the white LED DRL marker lights and the factory LED fog lights flashing. In the comments the upfitter...

    Best manufacturer and type of wire connectors

    Hey everyone, Doing some wiring and wanted to see what brand and type of terminals people are using. I've generally stuck to the 3M scotchlock insulated connectors but occasionally use Gardner-Bender. They're generally high quality and do pretty well. The downside is their price. Recently I've...

    2020+ Ford Explorer Tailgate Scene Lighting

    Looking for some area lighting suggestions for a 2021 Explorer's liftgate. I need some white area lighting that mounts to the liftgate and is aimed down at the asphalt when open. I've looked a lot of options, like the Whelen 200 series round, 3" round, strip-lite plus, Flourent tube, and various...

    Dropping Headliner 2021 Ford Explorer

    Hi all, Going to be installing two NMO antennas in a 2021 Ford Explorer. It has the large glass moonroof so my locations are limited but I've scouted out a few near the factory antenna. I've never dropped a headliner in a newer vehicle, and I'm scared to death quite honestly. It was a...

    Dimensions of Inner Edge XLP vs FST

    Does anyone have the height of the Inner Edge FST vs XLP? I found the XLP listed as 7 inches high in a search but that seems a very high. I know the brackets change the mounted height a bit depending on the vehicle, but I'm just interested in the actual unit's dimensions. I'm going to install...

    Wanted Wanted: Ford PIU Whelen ION or Micron Shrouds

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for the shrouds/housings that mount the IONS or Microns in Ford Interceptor Utility vehicles. Specifically I'm looking for the ones that mount on the rear side glass and the rear liftgate glass for a model year 2020+. I'm not particularly certain if a 16-19 MY would...

    Metro-State equipment on ebay

    I wasn't exactly sure where to put this (if anywhere) but I figured some may get a good laugh out of it. I found a seller peddling a bunch of ex-Jeremy Dewitte Metro-State warning equipment and apparel on ebay. I feel like most people on this board probably know who he is, but if you don't...

    2021 Ford Explorer 12v source

    Hey everyone, Just got a new 2021 Ford Explorer ST. I'm amazed at the amount of technology in these cars. Finding a good 12v source in the trunk area is proving difficult though. I'm hesitant to just blindly start tearing trim panels off. I'm planning a system with a max draw of about 30 amps...
