Solid light heads are needed! If not, a simple sync of the split light heads would create a large warning footprint avoiding the pink/purple effect....

Definitely needs solid color heads, at least they seem slow enough but only a video at night will tell.

Because of they way the light bar is programmed it will always have a purple effect. I had the same issue with my Tomar light bar, granted, the light bar was bright as all get out.

Stealth graphics on an otherwise fully marked vehicle... :bonk:
People fail to notice fully marked vehicles all the time. I see no issue here.

There is literally no application where a split color/flashed light is more effective than a solid color unit. This would be a great install if all the lights were solid color. Sync the front in a big x pattern and put the rear ions on a LP bracket and sync with the vertex.

This is Texas and we "mostly" use "split" on everything. I'm a big fan of splits! Splits are very effective for side/intersection warning as you get maximum visibility with both colors showing.  :popo:

If you do this, you get half the intensity because only half the light is on. If you want both colors, use two lights, or a bigger single light if you must split it.
