2009 Chevrolet Malibu - UPDATED 3/14/11

[Tom]

These were installed today. I was going to put the SEM3 from ledguy on a LP bracket in the rear and front, but it looked too bulky so I decided against it. The HAWs will be plenty to get me noticed on the side of the road. In the video, the strobes do look to have a yellow tint, but they are white.


Front: Strobes n More E Series LED hide-aways


Back: Whelen Vertex LED hide-aways

Those look good!


The Strobes n' More LAWs, I mean.

I love the switches hid in the ashtray!

I will post the video in the thread now.


And thanks, I've always wanted everything nice, clean, and hidden--that's why I decided against the LP lights

Looks good but the front is going to show a little yellow because of the bulb in the same housing with the HAW.

 

[Lookn2cuff]

Very nice and very clean! That will get you noticed on the side of the road. Great way to hide the switches too!

 

[Doug]

Nicely done. Not overkill, but it appears to get attention when the LEDs are on. I also like the hidden switches; nice attention to detail.

So ... where are the rest of the warning lights ?

So ... where are the rest of the warning lights ?

Like I mentioned, I had more lights to go on the front and back bumper, but the ones on the back looked too bulky and noticeable to I asked to have them taken off, and the front ones couldn't fit with the brackets where I wanted them.


I don't use these lights everyday, only when I go over to clients houses and park on the side of the road. I'm not trying to look like a police car or firetruck

So, why do you have them...? As auxiliary "hazzard" lights...?

Auxiliary Auxiliary Lights

Auxiliary Auxiliary Lights

That's not standard on a 2009 Malibu?

I like the placement of the LEDS, they show up well. I am concerned about the clear to the rear. Clear/white showing to the rear of the vehicle is illegal in many states ..... and can get you an equipment violation. Even if you don't get cited, amber is a better choice for rear warning.

Appreciate the concern but I never use the lights unless my vehicle is parked and purely for safety reasons.

I have a question... why the vertexs in the back up lamps and not e series? Would the e series not fit? I want to put a set of blue in the back up lamps in my malibu but wanna make sure I get ones that will fit. Thanks!

He already had Vertex's

 

[Tom]

Like ISU_Cyclone said, I had already purchased a set of the Vertex's prior to getting the E Series. The E Series and Vertex's are very similar in size, little difference.

 

[Tom]

Here's an update to my car. I added a slim miser up front and a 10-head warning bar from ledguy. I haven't mounted the bar yet but I'm really impressed with the brightness and quality.

What does everyone think??

 

[Drewstang]

Nice install.


Side note, can we get a smiley that has its head banging into a wall? Thats what I'm thinking when I see these guys who don't want their cars to look like cop cars, but go through the effort and money to do so with amber or clear.

 

[911]

its whacktastic !!!

 

[Tom]

It's not even meant to look like a cop car... I mean it's a Malibu.


It's not like I go around trying to pull people over. The lights are for my safety while I'm parked at the side of the road

I may have missed it, But what is it that you do?

I may have missed it, But what is it that you do?

I work for a large landscaping/masonry company. I go out and quote jobs, and also do follow up visits with customers. I'm always parking on the side of the road; I think it's more polite to leave the customers driveway open in case someone comes home or has to leave while I'm there.

 

[911]

dont forget you sell lights now @ your college ........!!

Not specifically at college, but yes I am getting into selling lights in my area.


911, I can never tell if you are making fun or just trying to provide information lol

 

[LLS]

[Tom]

Nice car
