Looking good, I have never really been a fan of body mounted 700's myself, but yours look good.


Can't wait to see a video of it!

 

[FusionWolf]

Damn already loving this. The Tacoma was really nice but I've got a good feeling about this.


Very much like the use of colored lenses to blend in with the vehicle. Paint those body mounts red and it'll look awesome!

 

[tsquale]

Can't wait to see the final setup! Certainly is a good start.

I'm not really a fan of body mounted lights, but it all looks solid and clean...  That gap under the headlights is BEGGING for some Feniex Titans...  lol

Haha. It fits the T6 perfectly. I will look into that. Nice idea

 

[How2075]

Very clean install except I'm not a fan of body mounted lights.  But that's only my opinion.  

 

[Storm4200]

Looks good. I would try to go with 2RED grill lights as opposed to the one RED one WHITE

 

[Kd8bao]

I may. I have some other red lights I may try also. Gonna wait till I get it all mounted and running with this plan. Then go for revisions

Sounds good. Are those 400s on the front fender? They don't look like 700s. I love the large lightheads for perimeter warning, and the only thing I don't like is that you went with a low profile lightbar (I would've loved to see a freedom up there).


Are there 4 T6 per side on the running boards (3R, 1C), or is it 4 total for both sides? I think that more than 2 lights per running board will honestly look tacky (and unnecessary waste of money). I would honestly like to see some HAW strobes to the rear. I'm not usually a fan of clear to the rear, but I drove an excursion for the FD that had 2 HAWs in reverse lights alternating with 2 HAWs in brake lights, and I loved them. Looking forward to a vid!

I love body mounted lightheads in 400 and 700 varieties!

Only thing I would change......

Make it a Suburban!

Seriously, I like it. Well done

 

[Kd8bao]

All 700 series. 4 lights per side. It's almost 7 feet of space under doors. Was thinking about haw in rear

 

[SBFD-E-9]

I like it. I can't wait to see the progress. I've always wanted a 7.3 Excursion.

I love Excursions, they are my favorite SUV. I had the opportunity to outfit 2 of them recently for a regional swat team and enjoyed doing so. I really like how neat the install is coming out looks great.

Vids better be posted ASAP!

I like it! The only thing I would change is to swap the white 700 in the grill for a red one. 

Can't wait to see a video of the finished product.

No white to front? Does this fall into what I have heard that white fwd facing lights are not to flash when parked? Or is it more personal preference

I agree with him I'd make it 2 reds in the grille. My ocd goes up a wall when there's 2 colors like that unless it's a RB setup Maybe a pair of ions or something above as a "HLF"

 

[JennyCop]

First off, I like it!  The 700's with chrome trim look great! The body mounted lights is a nice retro look for this awesome truck.

I say add the HAW's to the rear but mount them inside the reverse lights and that empty space in the tailight housing atop the Brake/running lights area. It really bothers me that no one uses this part of the tailight that has lots of potential on these trucks.  I also agree you should have went with a higher profile lightbar.

Please post a video and some pics of the entire truck when done.

Was thinking about at least the upper red void. Perfect mounting spot for a law.

Gonna be a bit. Leaving for north Carolina Friday for a week

I like flashing white to the front but it would be flashing TDs in the lightbar and a HLF. The only time I like white grill lights is if there is two white and a warning color in an x-pattern.

Subscribed - I've always tossed around the idea of body-mount light head on my tailgate.
