Here is a install we completed for a officer to use on extra jobs, this is probably one of the best ones we have done here lately. All lights are Feniex lights they are also hidden for the most part when off.

I don't really like the front. It needs something in the grille. The side needs a slower pattern and I'm not a fan of the split colors. The rear looks great though.

I do like the rear tailgate lights (& would like to see more pics of it) but I'm not a fan of the use of LAWs as the primary front warning. Personally, i think a HLF and a pair of T6 would've been more effective, without losing the stealth/covert factor when off.


As for the sides, I think apollos would've looked better for off-axis (because how many times do we park a vehicle at a 90-degree angle where the TIRs would be putting out max visibility). I'm sure you just did what the customer wanted, but I def wish he elected to go with a few different pieces of equipment

Ya I agree with the Apollos would have been better but they were too tall for where I was going to put them, and also I was worried about how they would do with the tint on them so I went with T6s since I knew the tint would hardly affect it. To me the LAW give the truck a bigger footprint of light than a set of grill lights would have, but to each there own I guess.

I agree that the front is a bit weak, but given what I've been able to understand about the sorts of off-duty work that Texas LEO's are doing (traffic control for highway construction), I think it makes sense to have your warning power concentrated toward the rear, and have the front be mostly corners and ID lighting.  But again, that's just my opinion based on my isolated understanding of the sort of work they're doing.
