Pretty good. Sync and slow the fog lights to match the grill lights and I would have gone with a solid blue LINZ6 under the red Mirror Beam and sync'd them opposite of each other but that's a pretty minor detail.

I think the fog lights are a little much and maybe get something in the rear side windows, but overall not too bad.

I have no issue with the amount of lighting. It's all well placed. I'd just suggest slowing all the patterns down and having them coincide with each other (blue with blue, red with red) in slow, alternating patterns. You'd be amazed at how much more effective it would be. Otherwise, especially at night, it'll just come across as a purple blur.


Friends don't let friends have purple blurs.

I couldn't agree more. I recently added lighting to my push bar and its amazing how pattern selection helps. I have a fully populated Wecan Libby up top with all red alternating with all blue on Action Flash except one pair of R/B heads set to steady burn. It moves traffic very good. The added push bumper lighting is two blue M4s, two red Fogs and white M2s at an angle for intersection. The red and blues alternate left red/blue with right red/blue on Single Flash 60. I'm amazed at the distance people start to react to me approaching now. Its easily been doubled or tripled. Slow and steady can't be beat. Those lights can be seen long before the Libby on a faster pattern. :thumbsup:

I notice towards the end of the video that the Liberty switches from R/B to all white. What is the purpose of that? Or is it just something that happened to the video due to the quick flash pattern?


EDIT: Should have gone straight to the YouTube page. Question answered :duh:

solid overall, but 3 things I would've changed: sync and slow down the flash patterns of the mirrorbeams and the fog lights, use a HLF instead of the LAWs in the DRLs (HLF is a brighter and more cost effective on the tahoe IMO), and move the R/B lin4/linz6 under the mirror and put it on the sides of the PB (solid colors red or blue, of course!). Glad to see we have a new installer sharing some decent work with us here ;-)

I just can't understand having a lightbar that is all white...steady burn or flashing. Seems like a waste of money. I certainly am not sold that all white steady burn bar illuminates the area. It's bright but not a great scene lighting IMHO. But maybe that's just my personal taste.

Have you seen a full white lightbar steady burn in person? We've got Valors at work and when you've got the scene lights on, it's like daylight. I think it's a see it to believe it kind of thing.

Yeah you're probably right. Video just doesn't seem to do it justice. Does it throw light and light up the area or is it just "bright to the eye?"
