Here is my first 2012 Charger. Still waiting on the computer stand and radio to be delivered but here is what I have so far. Please excuse the crappy cell video.

I tend to subscribe to the multiple flash pattern and speed train of thought. I think it grabs the eye a little better?

The customer just picked it up and they love it...and in the end that is what matters. It has 360 and the customer is happy.

I am doing 4 more identical to this one and then I have one slick top with a different console set up as well. Will post that one when complete.

I wish people would stop adding useless extra lights to the front of a vehicle while leaving the intersections uncovered. It's a good looking install, but the LAW's in the headlights are useless and the lightbar is too far back to effective intersection warning.

If the Bar Light was any farther forward it would be sloped towards the ground. Also the Vertex BLU/CLR in the front turn signal lens does give some 45deg visibility. It was recommended to the customer to have LIN's on the sides of the PB but they opted to go with front only. So, first rule of customer service is that we keep the customer happy and give them what they want. However we DO advise them to what would be more effective. Just like every person on this site they all have their own opinions as to what they want and what they feel is going to be effective for them.

I dont think the bar is too far forward at all. Most I see are square with the B post.

I love it. I wouldn't worry about the others because your right on when it comes to customer service. I wish we could see a better video though. Do you have a digital camera with video??

I would rather not say since this was posted without checking with the customer first. It is in Johnston County though.

Sorry, I was referring to lightbars in general, not just this one.

To fix ths issue we would need the bar manufacture to have some sort of adjustable foot on the front to make it level. But then in may look really weird and i dont know what that would do to the aerodynamics of the whole thing.

Ugh....more of that horrid useless center tail light carnival ride flashing. The HAW LEDs both in front and in the reverse lights would be more effective in a slower flash. I like the dual effect on the push bumper, it would be complemented by the same treatment and synced with the fog lights. That would be an impressive front foot print. The overall lay out of lights is good, it just needs slower synced patterns. Slower is sleazy more effective with LED and halogen lights.

1) Nice install.


2) All it proves is that the customer is knows shyte about the science behind warning patterns and lights. The customer is almost never right in that regard.
