big footprints of large synced lightheads? Im not used to seeing this....Is there a reason you didnt think 35 TIR3s or IONs wouldve looked better? Or if youre gonna use a lighthead like that, is there a reason you didnt pick a cool pin-wheel pattern, or something split at least?

all kidding aside....


this install is PERFECT! you dont need a full lightbar and 1,000 other lights to make a vehicle's warning lights effective. You need the PROPER LIGHTS that are the right size, you need the PROPER FLASH PATTERNS, and the correct use of SYNC. This is perfect from the rear. Clear, easy to understand and unmistakable. Its not blinding or seizure inducing. The sides profile the vehicle perfectly and the front is wide and wont be washed out by the headlights. i bet this vehicle's lighting is more effective then most of their fully marked patrol cars.


if it were mine, I would hook the SlimLine Pioneers to a P-flash flasher so you can flash them if needed during day-time responses.


great job!! one of my favorites. :thumbsup:

I love it, except for the limited use that it gets :-(


Something on the front above the window would be nice

I was wondering if M7s would fit surface mounted up there at the top windshield area. That would be the only addition.

I think it's great you guys took the time to paint it up in the county colors if you will. I think it is a little tacky to leave it woodland and slap lights on them. This is one nice looking truck... now only if the military would let me put M7s and M6s on ours....


Oh and did you use 24v versions or 12v and how did you wire it to power? 24 to 12v Converter?

It would be hard to make them work in that area because of the wiper arm runs thru the top of the window. I'm not saying it can not be done.

12V equipment and a 24 to 12 converter.

A slimlighter would be perfect on a slow wigwag single flash pattern

I would think if they were to add something up high a light stick (sync'd of course :yes: ) between the spotlights would be the easiest to do. As stated before mounting to the front of the windshield or on the inside is kinda a pain because of the wipers and the wires that run in the frame. Not impossible, but more difficult that mounting it to the top. Heck you could even do the same with a light stick or Ions mounted to the hood on top up near the windows for some mid level.
