Would galls wig wags be considered the same as HLF? Could they cause the same computer problems you mentioned?

Little update 5/4/15-
Painted all the beige trim black ( I think it looks a lot better- a lot less "soccer momish")
I plan on ordering a light stick for the back window from strobes n more during their 4th of July salr- I'm torn between the e66 mini and the e66 dual color...
Has anyone had any experience with the two?

Black looks good. I don't think you can go wrong with either bar. Just have to consider if you're actually going to need the amber or not.

That's exactly it, I don't know when I'd actually use Amber- the other thing is, well 2 things
1- the both the e66 dual and single (not the mini) color are a hair under 36" it'd be a relatively tight squeeze
2- on strobes n more, it says the dual color has 1 watt leds where as the single color says 3 watt leds, I'm not sure if that was a typo or not but I'd rather not get a 1 watt led stick...
Hey. Love the setup. What lights are in your grill? Looks really nice and different.
Thanks.

If you take a look at strobes n more there is 3 e66 models- the mini, single color longer version and dual color...
The mini says 3 watt LEDs,
The single color longer version (which I think is basically the dual color except it's not dual color) says 3 watt LEDs a
The dual color says 1watt.
That's what's confusing me

I'm guessing that it has to do with the dual color capability. B/c each diode in the duo color E66 has to flash 2 colors, the output probably suffers as compared to a single-color diode. I believe that this output issue is why the big name companies (ie whelen, fedsig) interweave separate color Diodes instead of having dual color diodes (that don't meet their standards)

E66 has been installed- great output at night, I'll have to see about during daytime

Fair warning to all planning or thinking of buying one- after cutting, stripping, adding connectors and then mounting the light, I looked at the paperwork and in the specifications for the light it says the leds are in fact 1watt leds instead of the 3watts that it says they are online...

Little update-
made a custom lisense plate bracket out of "U" channel aluminum, sprayed it with bed liner and slapped some t6's (courtesy of Nate from move over outfitters)
Next plan when I have some extra money is the mesh ("Bentley style") grille with 4 t6's and some red cannons in the tail lights as well.
ill get a video up when the upload to YouTube

Update 2/23/16:
Installed a pair of r/w cannons in the fogs, got the custom intersection bracket wired up
Future plans-
Honeycomb grill with t6's, brush guard with led flood lights hooked up to a flasher, rear 1/4 window side lighting and red cannons for the DRL portion of the tail lights

Finally bought and installed a brush guard and a strobe n more eflood 7200, not I just can't decide wether or not I want to move the t6's I had on an intersection bracket behind my lisence plate to the side of the brush guard or if I want to suck it up and get apollos (I'd like to stick with feniex)

That's what I was thinking of doing, but there's no great way to mount t6's in the grille without drilling (which I'd rather not do) maybe I'll make some brackets and mount them underneath the lightbar and when I sell my spare cannons I'll buy a pair of apollos
It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it seems like you could attach the T6s to the grill slats with some angle brackets and some 3M double sided tape.
Another option is putting the T6s on a license plate bracket in the rear and putting a Cobra 600 on the top bar of the grill guard like Eric.

My friends have a small shop and they been making me some brackets. We came up with our own plate bracket. I have the T3 version on my truck now. And soon a T6 version. It is unfinished 20g stainless so it is sturdy. But I have an Explorer like yours and with these plate brackets you have some adjustment to the angle of the light.

I need front intersection warning first, then rear side warning before I get to all the additional, most likely, unnecessary lights

This vehicle is currently for sale, if you have serious thoughts on purchasing, pm me to discus. most lighting will be stripped and put on the new vehicle.
Thanks!
Thanks!
