Excellent install. Great choice on the flash patterns. Nice to see no split fails or rapid flash patterns. Only change I'd make if even possible would be the two rear lights in the back window. I'd flash the whole left light then whole right light in a back and forth type pattern. But they are definitely fine the way they are too.

Nice work. Not gonna lie....I wish they kept the lighting more era-specific (I loved these suburbans with the MX7K, 700 strobes, and HAW strobes back in the day), but I'm sure the customer had a good reason for upgrading to LED and cutting down on the amp draw.
I've been really impressed with Tecniq's off-axis warning and their impressive warranty. I wish that the customer had gone the 7x3s or 6x4s for the grill and the rear.

There was that one guy here that put a Streethawk on his department's Suburban a year or two ago, that's more the kinda thing I prefer. But those LEDs are sure to pack more of a punch than the strobes he used.

I totally agree with you. That said, the colored lenses really help bridge the time-gap between the Suburban and the LED bar. It wouldn't look nearly as good in my opinion with clear lenses.
