Only thing that makes me nervous at this point, and I understand it's not finished yet, is intersection visibility.

Thankfully at almost every intersection I already have the right of way... Side warning will happen, but it will take alot of thought to keep it hidden.

Yeah, the HLF pattern was the best option out of the many. I have a faster option on the Jeep and I don't think it's that effective. I will be replacing that HLF sometime this summer/fall when the Jeep goes back in service

Perfect! At 1:20-23 I now have a mounting solution!

Nice set up.

Thank you. I looked high and low for some kind of universal mounting "board" and couldn't come up with anything. I had some extra 3/4" plywood and some scrap aluminum angle, so I made the plate. It's hinged on 2 $0.99 hinges I purchased at lowes and to keep it secured when stowed, one long stainless steel sheet metal screw into the bottom of the package tray. To service the board, a couple of turns on that screw and it's free.

By any chance you have any close up pics of it?

Not bad at all, very conservative. Three main comments:


- A little bit of side warning would be helpful


- The windshield tint isn't very friendly to the red lights. I assume that's the typical strip of blue tint along the top.


- I totally agree that a slow HLF pattern is best. I like.


Don't see very many Lincolns with lights.

yeah, the strip at the top is OEM. Nothing I can do about that. I know that having the lights up there will not be as effective as having them behind clear glass, but my goal (and so far I have been very successful) is to keep it stealth and not draw attention to the fact there's lights in the car. I know it won't be a traffic mover, but at least it will identify me at a call or on the way to a call.


Right now the Lincoln is out of commission anyways due to it needing new spark plugs... Yes, it's a pain in the ass to do. It's a 5 hour job that requires the draining of the coolant system, removal of the intake manifold and removal of the EGR tube... all to change plugs... not happy at all!


Side warning will be coming as will more rear warning and front... I have acquired a whelen speaker for the siren and Tomar RECT14's for the grill that still need to be installed.

Sorry, just saw the question.


I purchased an aftermarket headlight harness from suvlights and wired in the HLF into that so that it doesn't affect the OEM wiring. No errors that way
