Federal Signal Add-Ons

Anyone else see this done? Seattle chose to add these blue LEDs for "cruise lights" rather than invest in smart siren or whatever to have cruise lights in the bar itself (sorry, I don't know FS at all, just Whelen).



Closer look.

Maybe it's to help air units ID them?

Interesting...couple of zits that need popping if you ask me.

Nah, SPD doens't have an air unit. They're using it ID cruisers it's just weird. They've updated everything but they won't update to smart siren.

Why are both blue as it looks like they have r/b bars based on the close-up photo? Maybe somebody needed some busy work.

I'd guess because there are already plenty of red lights on cars as it is and another little steady burning red light isn't gonna get the point across to identify it. Kinda like the Washington DC Legends with a blue light mixed in with the red on the driver's side so their cruise lights were all blue.

Yup, agree 100% with that. Never crossed my tiny little mind. Makes sense.

Yeah that's the only thing I can think of too.
