Looks nice, no split fail. I only things I would do would get of the center deck light at the top on the window and switch out the 2 LAWs with colored ones in the grille.
I think I would move the deck bar to the roof, the two head to the front dash, and also use colored heads in the grill.
Oh, and got to love drug seizures

That looks nice, I would add a dash light to the front as well and swap the bar and deck light in the back and put the deck light up against the window.
oooooo:drooling:....can i have one, I love the gray. I really like the front white lights, its different and looks awesome.
I have to go change my pants. Thanks.
I think the all white looks good in the grille. Unless you switched all the lights to colored, something would end up getting washed out. As it is, it ought to be visible from a long ways away, making it a suitable alternative to an HLF.

Agreed.
As long as there is some blue elsewhere (dash, mirrors), white in grille iskinda cool and different.
I think the only real change I would make is on the windshield flashers, I would re-arrange the lights so the colors flash red-blue alternating on both sides rather than the purple haze effect of having the red and blue flash at the same time. I would also get rid of the white flashers to the rear, or switch them to amber.
I would like to add that her in Indiana we almost always flash white to front and rear. Its something that is done by all walks of LE throughout the state.

Nothing wrong with that at all. White to the rear is very attention getting.
On a side note, I hate amber anywhere on an LE vehicle, unless it is an in-use dedicated traffic arrow. If it's not left, right or center out, needs to be red and/or blue (depending on region). Save amber for construction, tow, and maintenance vehicles. But that's just me.

Most of our units have 'wig wag' high beam headlights. This Mustang has HID projector headlights and high-beams. It is not recommended 'in my opinion' to attempt to wig wag a $140 headlight bulb, which (besides probably being high voltage) would likely cause the bulb life to decrease unacceptably. I didn't feel like risking it this time.
Therefore, I had to come up with a suitable replacement for a 'wig wag' high-beam using only the equipment on hand. This is the best I could do without getting overly complicated. We only had one set of white pop-ins, so the next few will only have 'wig wag' foglights, which are not very effective (compared to high-beams).
It is likely that colored pop-in bulbs WILL end up in these cars over time ('cause nothing is ever enough), but there are no grille lights in our previous Mustangs, so none will initially make it into this batch.

Well - for one - this is not a drug seizure (it might give you seizures, though), this is a newly purchased vehicle by the department.
Also, moving the deck bar to the roof would cause passengers to hit their heads on it. Currently with the single light head on the center of the roof, the back seat is still usable and as comfortable as it comes from Ford. I initially had two separate lights on each side of the top rear window (and liked it better, appearance-wise) but you hit your head on them when seated in the back seat. The single lighthead also saved $30 and gives off the same amount of light.
As for moving the 'two head' to the front, I have another Mustang I just finished up with two of them in the front window as visor lights (instead of the visor light in this install). They are much brighter, and I like them better. Red and Blue on each side.
Search youtube for 'mandarave' and some key words for the video. It should be up by Monday 28th, or shortly there-after.

This is the only bracket we have. A horizontal bracket is available, but I don't really like the finished product.
Personal preference.

You can make a bracket for less than $5.00. No paint is needed because none of the bracket is visible...no holes to the vehicle as well...
the nypd has used white to the rear for years with no problems....
i think these installs look sharp !

Let's not start a white to the rear debate... or use one specific agency doing something as an argument as to it's effectiveness. Every study and standard about the subject says it is distracting... many people do it anyway, lets move on.
Whats with all the blurred and blocked off cars..Pull the car out and take the video They are marked cars no reason to make it a secret

These are for Indiana State Police. I'm not sure why everything was blocked out when the media will be all over these when they are issued like last time.
I wanna puke everytime you post post a critical or sarcastic reply Stormy. You act like your shit don't stink!
Here in Indiana we do white to the rear a ton.
The license plate lights are mismatched, one whelen tir3 and one federal impaxx. Someone in logistics ordered these and I was told that the vendor shipped all the blues as fed signal. I am not sure I believe it wasn't an error from my agency though based on other examples.

How was the equipment mounted inside? There isn't much room for radios, lighting/siren and laptop in a mustang.
These cars look sweet when on a traffic stop, But I still like the Indiana State Police White Dodge Ram that is set up like a DOT truck.

The radio is inside the center armrest. Whelen Handheld hss2200 light and siren controller, smaller sized laptop on pass seat mounting bracket. Its pretty tight on the passengers side but the drivers side isnt bad.
