I've got 3 Ford Interceptor Utilities on the way, and we're trying to outfit them as best as possible, with some considerations of course. Surprisingly, budget isn't really one of them, we can spend what we need to on safety equipment.
The cars will be slick tops, SOS is the lighting supplier, and every light is dual color (Either R/W or B/W). General urban/rural Law Enforcement with a busy interstate. The cars are black with a Setina wrap-around push bar and tinted windows, and I'll have control over flash patterns.
Current package includes the following:
Front: nForce interior light bar, single LED spotlight (Strobes on code), standard HLF, 2 forward-facing mpower lights incorporated in the push bar, and 2 mpower lights vertically mounted at a 45* angle on the side of the pushbar.
Side: Aforementioned 45* pushbar lights, under-mirror intersector lights, running board lights below the doors, and 2 mpower lights on the inside top edge of the 3rd window.
Rear: nForce interior traffic controller mounted to the headliner, 2 mpower lights mounted on the edge of the license plate, and whatever TLF the upfitter comes up with.
I feel confident in the front and side setups, I really don't have anything to add there. But the rear concerns me, especially with the tinted rear window. I feel like better lighting to the rear would be a valuable addition. I like the newer rear spoiler mounted lights, but I need some advice on the cleanest solution offered for that? Or some opinions/advice in general to improve the cars. Trying to be effective without going overboard with lights mounted all over the car like you see on whackers.
Thanks!
