    I think I figure out why the other posters config wasnt working, I need to rewire my forwards as all I did was take my TD's from the outer and put them in the center so its throwing things off. My last post in inaccurate about those inner center options not doing anything.

    SX Liberty Bar: - Dual LR11 Takedowns - Do they need a special bracket?

    Or can I just use the same one that comes with the single takedown, I ask because I noticed that there are other screw holes on the plate the lights sit on, and from the looks of it, I would have to take off the back black plate to fit the extra LR11's onto. I also understand I would need some...

    Federal Signal Arjent SL flash pattern

    Speaking of the Arjent SL and flash patterns, Could it hurt to wire both sets of flash pattern wires into a single momentary switch for on the go pattern changing per mode? or would this cause an electrical short having 2 + and 2 - wires of the type touching each other at all times?
