2007 Ford Five Hundred

[MPD 818]

This is the third or fourth version of my wifes car. I get bored with it and change it up every now and then. This version (which I will probably leave alone for a long time) features the following:


Federal Viper EXTs behind grill. Synced with Federal Dual Viper in windshield


Strobes in front turn signals


Headlight flasher


Cuda Trioptoics in side windows


Federal Signal Condor dash light in rear window


Tail light flasher


Federal PA 300


There are 2 toggle switches in the center console. One switch for lights, the other for siren. The siren tones are changed via the steering wheel. It is simple enough and works.

Looks nice and clean I like it

Looks nice and clean. I would move two of those Cudas to the rear window and ad a little light there. Looks weird with that single dash light in the rear...

very nice

Yeah but the way I looked at it was that this is used to respond to the station. There is really no need for a lot to the rear since it is very rare that she responds to the scene in this vehicle.

Ditto.


Switch the Viper and the Condor around. It's all about balance !

Ok, but still. The Cudas are really too close to be truly effective. You should get an intersection bracket for the front license plate or a pair of SoundOff Intersectors for under the side mirrors, because your front end will reach the intersection first, unless you plan on driving in reverse the entire way....

the 4 cudas in the rear windows are usless. move two the the front for intersection, and move two to the rear window. You say its only used to respond to the station, so im gonna assume that its not gonna be parked blocking roads right?

With the rare exception it is not going to blocking any roads. If I move 2 to the front and 2 to the rear then I have no side coverage.


I know everyone has their own opinion, but I like it how it is. I was also working with a verrrrryyyyy limited budget and stuff I had around the house. I thought of doing the Sound Off Intecector lights but they cost $$$.

I am well aware of the options out there. I am well aware of the intersection bracket. I know it might not be the ideal intersection lighting, but the youtube video does not do it a lot of justice. The corner strobes in the headlights do a surprisingly good job of off axis and intersection lighting. The cudas do a good job of side coverage.

I like it. I am trying to figure out what to put on my mini cooper for "case sh!t" moments when I need to stop on scene. I actually stop quite a bit with all the wrong way driving drunks out here.

This thread is a tad old but any chance you have pictures of the equipment mounting locations in the truck? I have a five hundred and looking for ideas
