As I posted before in my old install I am in the process of changing vehicles. Old with the old and in with the new. No lights installed yet but I have a partial planned list to start off. Hoping to get started next week after it comes back from some minor body work.
Also posted a pic of the old and new truck.

Your setup sounds pretty good. My only changes would be to avoid adding any lights to your headlights, whether it be strobes or LEDs. Whenever you have your low beam headlights on, that will drown out whatever warning light you have in there and just be a waste IMO. Headlight flashers are all that needs to be done when it comes to headlights. You can get away with having lights in your fogs, I personally would rather see a pair of cannons in your fog housings rather than strobes but that's just me. I'd like to see a video once you get it all installed.

For a visor light, look into the Feniex Pegasus. I've had mine for almost 2 years or more now and it is purely amazing.

Sounds like a solid plan! Nice looking Chevy too!

Sounds like a good setup, but I would change the running board lights to a linear lighthead (ie red Apollos, impaxx 6, or nforces) and stick to solid color Apollo for the intersection warning.


As for the ILB, I think the Fedsig spectralux is the best ILB on the market right now.


I honestly don't think a 2nd siren is necessary on a POV when you have a smart siren pushing 200 watts (combined).

If the strobes are going in the high beams, and you have them on a triple or quad flash in an X pattern with the fog strobes, I will literally find a way to mail you a high five B)

Plans sound pretty good, nice truck too! Cant wait to see it with the '14 wheels...

Actually had them in my old truck and loved it. Like the pop of the strobe. I would like to get a Pegasus just want to see if I can get a used one.

Thanks Tom

 I actually have 4 of the T6s already but I want to see how the Apollo fit there as well. I will likely use the Apollo on the intersection bracket as a solid red and have the white wired separate to be used as needed. I was running dual sirens on my old truck and loved it. Seemed like it grabbed attention vs single tone.

 Well you might not have to mail a high five lol. I actually am re using the headlights from my old truck and already have the strobes in the low beams unfortunately. I will be using a X pattern though.

 Thanks for all the replies. Most of the items listed are being reused from my old truck so I will see how it works out and take into consideration the ideas given. I also have 3 ULF44s to play with. See how they fit in. That's what I love about this board. Great way to get lots of ideas.

Split coloring the Apollo will IMO effectively give you insufficient red light intensity for intersection warning while also not having enough white to do much with at night.


Obviously your call but I'd use a tir style light (Cobra or Titan) for the white light needs and keep the Apollo fully populated with red LEDs for good intersection warning. Otherwise your plan sounds pretty solid.

 Thanks for the advice. Since I already had the Apollo from my previous truck I am going to try it. I do have 2 T6s for each side as well for some extra side warning.

Post updated with mostly non warning items. I did get the Apollo bar installed but the rest will have to wait till after vacation starting tomorrow. Slow process but I want to take my time and do it right. That and the fact that work is extremely busy right now.

Well time flew by and I never updated the post. I am in the process of getting rid of the old and getting a replacement set up. I never took any video with my strobes installed but here is a video of one of the set ups I had with it.

And a picture of the new to me truck waiting for the install. I will be starting a new post for updates on the new truck.
