If I wasn't getting rid of my Av, I'd seriously have to look into one of those front and rear... lol Even though they only have then for non-cladded Avs, I thing I could make it work... lol

I don't like where the M7's are.... I think you should put them to the rear and put the M2's up front... Man I wish we had half the lighting you have on our staff truck.

Next upgrade will be the Tomar RECT14's on the sides of the PB. They wernt bad, but they have ZERO off-axis. Not to mention i destroyed the wires on one, so once its removed, i doubt it will ever work again. lol. In this location, i think the 500 V's will be great.
(Teaser: the B/B M6s may soon be for sale)

Love that light bar on your truck. The remainder of your install is great too but that bar finishes it off nicely.
A part of me wishes I had more POV responses so I could justify putting a bar on my roof so I could have one too.
ok, i know ive been needing some lights on my side mirrors for quite some time, ive just been telling myself that i didnt. Well, now im thinking about moving forward with it. I want 3 levels of warning, and something to profile the width of my truck.
my thoughts are:
M7s on the mirrors.
They would be the same split B/A that i have in my grill, synced on a 'X' pattern. I would remove the front amber TIR3s and most likely the Tomar RECT14s on the sides of the PB. Now, i know what youre thinking, Mirrorbeams arent TRUE intersection warning, and i agree. However, 4 M7s (even if theyre split) would give me more than enough intersection warning for my response area.
thoughts? feedback? concerns?

I wouldn't remove the lights on the side of the push bumper. They're facing in a different direction than lights would be on the mirrors and look good, and I don't think it's too much. I would get rid of the tir3s though as they have such a smaller footprint than the M7s.
What I would do is install towing mirrors which would look great on your truck, and mount the M7s to them
I think I got mine on ebay for well under $200 and I still have the old ones which I could probably get almost the same out of if I decide to sell them.

Personally i liked it better with the M6s up front. But if your set on the M7 I would do all 4 on the brush gaurd in an x pattern, the M6 on the sides of the gaurd and the tomar on the mirrors
Damn can't believe so many people miss the M6s. For me the 7s work better because I'm getting emergency and non-emergency modes.
Now, as for the rear, the M2s have been sold locally and I'll be replacing them with B/A M7s.
Still haven't decided on a mirror or front intersection solution.
