Hey all, I just picked up a 2011 Tahoe SSV. I've planned out a build for it, but the one item I'm not sure of is which inner windshield lightbar to get.
I've seen pictures of the Soundoff Pinnacle, Whelen Inner Edge, Star SVP, the Axixtech, the FedSig ILS and the Code 3, but don't really know which is better. I'd love to hear your feedback and see pictures of your install! Ideally i'd like to find a bar that spans as much of the width as possible and uses 1W or greater LEDs (Gen3+). I'd especially love to hear from anyone that has been able to compare the various products against each other!
I even thought about jury rigging some deck bars up there. Our county shops put in Sho-me By the Inch up there, but they arent very bright at all (gen 1 leds?)
Here is my build as it stands (i've ordered or already have most of these parts).
