Love the simple graphics package and it has lighting in all the right places. Are the stud grill mpower and rear LP mpowers on steadyburn?

The white is very attention-getting on the lightbar, but I’m not a big fan of that much white when parked (like fire apparatus, I wish more LEO vehicles would have white park kill)

Yep, the mPowers in the grille and on the rear LP brkt. are on Steadyburn.
Pos. #2 on their slide switch drops the white, so they can "downgrade" if they want to.

Great looking install, but maybe a stupid question:

The ORC (Ohio Revised Code) calls for "flashing lights" as warning code - does that mean all steady burn is not now "legal" warning? How does that affect my insurance? I have almost always added a steady burn red or amber on the rear of a light bar, finding it very effective.

And as an aside, I see so many street racers running (illegal and seemingly unenforced) with solid blue and/or red to the front. I might just ignore this car if I saw it pull up behind me with solid blue, steady burn grille lights. PD's need to enforce the proper color lights for all of our safety...

Not gonna lie, I'm digging the steady burn grill lights with the wigwag flasher. Unexpected, but amazingly sexy, and effective/distinguishable at a distance!!! Well done!
