    Do LAPD still use vehicles from the 2000s?

    Gotta remember its CA. When you don't have to deal with a lot of rain, snow, salt, brine, etc, your stuff lasts longer and doesnt have the risk of "rotting away". If they take care of them, theres no reason why cars from the early 2000's shouldnt still be able to be in service.

    New ride! 2019 Toyota Rav4

    Ive stated in previous posts that, yes, I am a volunteer FF/EMT, but I have a day job (like most of us). My job requires me, at certain times, to be stopped on major roadways. I wanted a small, but powerful pop of amber to help during night hours where i wouldn't want the white vertexes on. I...

    New ride! 2019 Toyota Rav4

    Moved the dash light over towards the center more with hopes it will help with the angle. So far so good. It really packs a punch for such a tiny light. Video taken today at 12 est with lots of sun.

    New ride! 2019 Toyota Rav4

    Remounted the dash light to the pass side upper windshield. Working on getting the bracket angled correctly. Sorry for the glair. It’s finally a sunny day in NJ

    New ride! 2019 Toyota Rav4

    Update 7/31/19. did not like the mid power LEDs in the mini phantom so im selling it. Picked up a Federal Signal Xstream r/w/b dash light and set it on B/W for an extra pop. What a fantastic light output for a light about the same size as a mini phantom. Im going to mess with the location...

    New ride! 2019 Toyota Rav4

    Updated with a dash light. Bought a code 3 flip light, but wasn’t impressed honestly. It sounds like it’s using ballasts and it makes noise when it flashes. Decided on a ULB9E mini phantom. Small, unobtrusive and bright. Mounted in the dash with no mounts. Ive posted videos of both. I...

    New ride! 2019 Toyota Rav4

    I think white pops more than blue, especially should I have to respond during the day. Its just a better color for attention grabbing all the way around IMHO.

    New ride! 2019 Toyota Rav4

    Thanks! Its personal preference, but I don't like when lightheads flash together. I understand it give's a bigger footprint, but when there's just two, I like alternating. If I ever add 2 more grill lights, I may do that, but there really isnt any other place to mount them. Believe it or...

    New ride! 2019 Toyota Rav4

    Finally got around to stage 1 of the build. I changed my mind on a few things and opted for a simple, yet effective set up. I do not use my lights all that often, so its enough to get me where I'm going. Installed: FRONT: GRILL: Whelen Microns (blue) INTERSECTION: Whelen Ions (white)...

    Burnt out Slimlighter LEDs

    I hope this is the correct place. Recently picked up a new to us chiefs vehicle that had a slimlighter installed in the rear glass. We plan on replacing it because 2 of the 6 leds on one side do not work. Has anyone come across this before? Is there a way to replace just the LEDs or does...

    New ride! 2019 Toyota Rav4

    What’s up guys! I gave my wife my 2018 Camry which I’ve previously posted about. I picked up a 2019 Toyota RAV4. I’ve since re-joined a Fire Department so I can now run blue front, red/blue/amber rear again. In the interim, I’ve got my old LS12 in the rear and a dual color feniex dash light...

    2018 Toyota Camry Install

    Updated the Camry just a little. Replaced the cobras in the front grill with dual color Mpowers. I used a 15 degree spacer so they face out perfectly instead of pointing up like the cobras. I think they fit a ton better in the small space.

    2018 Toyota Camry Install

    I just picked up a firebeam (which happens to be my favorite light of all time) I think in many cases its still brighter than certain LED dash lights, depending where they are mounted. I'm going to find a magnet for it and keep it to throw on my dash or roof.

    2018 Toyota Camry Install

    I am 100% on scene. The only time the front lights help is if I'm on a surface street or sometimes in a parking lot, just to give an ID that my car is there. The T/A is on the list at some point, but for now I think this does the trick. And thanks, this is my 3rd camry. I worked in sales at...

    2018 Toyota Camry Install

    It's funny you say that, I actually just bought a cobra dash light on ebay for $30. I know its the oldest model, but it was a new demo w/ cord and the optics will be good for punching through the tint. My windshield has a factory tint strip on the top that cuts out light output really bad...

    2018 Toyota Camry Install

    I was able to run by my office today and made use of the slightly overcast weather and the open parking lot. I think the slower pattern def gives it more of a "Hey, I'm here" attention grabbing, without screaming, "Hey, look at all the blinkys on my car." Subtle and simple. Here is the new...

    2018 Toyota Camry Install

    Updated on July 4th, 2018. I had some time today, so I went and slowed down the rear pattern as suggested. I couldnt get to the wires on the T3s in the glass to sync it all up today. Its way too hot out for 11am to be messing around in the sun. I think it looks a lot better with the slow...

    2018 Toyota Camry Install

    Ryan, not sure what you mean about "too few dim lights". The video was taken outside in direct sunlight on a 90 degree day so im sure they appear dimmer than they are. The T3s in the rear glass are behind 35% tint so that cuts it down some, and the reflectors in the camrys reverse lights...

    2018 Toyota Camry Install

    I appreciate the input! The reverse light housings on the newer camrys are not double walled. It was simple to get two holes drilled and everything run. Theres tons of space for the flashers under the trunk lid. The front headlights are double walled. I wanted laws in there, but decided...
