II finally got around to finishing up my install on m y pov. im local vollie for my town. i dont really need all the lights considering im about 45 sec to a min from the fire house but i do installs and figured what the hell let me show my work.... so heres what i have on the truck


all front is blue


rear i have blue/red


up front


1-whelen slimlighter upper windshield


1-whelen hlf


2- rontan quasars in fogs


2-rontan dots custom mounted in license plate holder


2- strobesnmore e42 series mounted behind grille


1-damega siren speaker


rear


1-6 tir4 dual color stick in rear up window AWL(red/blue plus amber)


4-feneix fairys in tail lights


2-mini phantoms in side windows


all controlled with a damega proramable smart siren mounted inside the eyeglass holder above rearview mirror. the brain was mounted under driver seat.


all is fused with a breaker at the battery under the passenger seat.


UPDATE::::


ok so you know how i have the dots in the license plate bracket . i want to add either another set on the bottom facia facing sideways like shown in the pic i added or add a set of SIRENNET.COM - Sirennet SNL3SN Mini LED Light on either side slush mounted from behind in same manor as the dots.


do you think its worth it or are tthe lights to low. im really not 100% on doing it just want to see what you all think

Can you close the sunglasses holder? I was able to fit a SS2000 control head in there but wouldn't close (in a JGC which is the same OHC).

NICE! Very neat install, nicely done. A perfect amount of 'NY lighting' if you ask me. Now here's where I nitpick. Don't take it personally :)


I'd have to swap that traffic stick around. For whatever reason I like seeing red on the drivers side of the vehicle when it comes to lightbars and sticks. Don't know why. Maybe I'm OCD?


You probably don't have to worry about this being a LEO, but I've seen people (myself included) get their nuts hammered for having red on the sides of the vehicle. To the rear is one thing for on-scene safety, but I got jimmy kicked for having a pair of red/red slimlighters in my rear side windows. The argument was that I was essentially demanding the right of way as an emergency vehicle when pulling out from side streets and at intersections, which isn't the case as a blue lighter.


Just my $.02, keep up the good work.

as for as the bar i actually like the blue to driver lol and also i wanted the cable to go a certain way


as far as the red to side they dont really say anything half the guys in my dept are voluenteers as well..plus i dont really turn the side rear ones on too much... i had them laying around so threw them in to showcase my installs to give others ideas


As far as the update what do you all think i should do with the add intersections i want to installl??

IMO, I don't like lights way down low. The lowest I would go would be an intersection bracket with two lights to the side. Surface mount lights are most effective in the grille area. A dual dash light low on your windshield may also be a nice addition since you have an SUV (just put it above the wipers).

I look It looks great! Perfect amount of lights and perfect flash patterns. IMO, I don't like the dots that low. Maybe a pair of intersectiors under the mirrors?

no i dont respond direct to scene\


as far as mounting down that low i dont really want to do it that low. im still playing around with ideas


as for the intersectors i like them but not a big fan of them. first i like to have all my lights hidden as possible and they look to obvious to me. second i dont think they are as effective as mights mounted to license plate brackets or corne strobes reason being is my the time your mirros are out in the intersection half you car is thru .. i know they spread light almost 180o but if your comeing from a corner with a building or a parked car/truck they are useless imo
