04 dodge ram strobe and led?

[eng18ine]

hey guys. im going to be working on an 04 dodge ram 1500 soon and the plans so far are, a whelen mini edge, custom made 8 head TA with brake lights and 4 strobes in the tailights. the edge is going to be amber along with the TA with red brake lights and turn signals.


my question is, there is going to be 8 rear facing strobes and the traffic advisor, i feel this might be a tad confusing and either the led bar might just be drowned out and just be confusing? what are your opinions on that.


the mini edge is going to be mounted ontop of a back rack and just under that, the TA bar.


thanks

depends cause doing road work on a highway, the light bar will be higher off the ground and will be seen by truck driver far away and also give you a 360 coverage.

What brand & type (tir or linear) leds.

a whelen tir3. gen3 leds three of them per light head. im planning on having 8 across the width of a standard sized pickup. 6 flashing amber and 2 reds for brake/turn signal.


there not linear

i didnt think about it that way. good point. i was gonna put the strobe and led on a seperate switch anyway. i guess ill see how it turns out haha

i dont think it will be too bad. Run the light bar, and the tail light strobes on a seperate switch, that way you can run just the TA and the HAWs, and shut off the lightbar if need be....

Should not have a problem with the TA using TIR leds. Set it up the way Storm4200 suggested. Are you going to use a whelen TACTLD1.
