I have the same car. The headlights have a design that would allow you to put just about anything in there (strobe or LED hide a way, even a TIR3). You can also put something in the fog light housings. For the inside, I would suggest a dual head light attached to the passenger side headliner. If it was my car, I would remove the billet grill (I personally hate them for some reason) so grill lights could be added.
 
What kind of lighting package are you looking for? What are the local requirements/laws for color and coverage (can you only use front facing, do you need 360* coverage, ect)? Let us know and I'm sure we will be able help you out more.
 
I did an install on a Altima. You can do 2 Dashlights on the headliner and one on the Dash. You can also do a HLF. You can do Grill LED's on a Licence Plate Bracket if there is no room in the Grill. I Sell Tomar Lights and can sell you Rect14's and a LP bracket for a good price
 
led package. Front And Rear.


State of Tn. Red and White only. 360 degree.


I like the ideal of the inside head liner ideal but I am afraid of to much flashback.


I hate to take my billet grill out but may have to.


Do you have any pictures on the install you did?


What about the inside I am thinking a smart siren ss2000


I have motorola cdm1250 remote mount. Got to put somewhere.
 
Definitely HAWs in the front and rear tail lights. Has anyone tried to fit a par36 in the fog lamp area?


Try to find what the NYPD has on their altimas (besides the lightbar) for some ideas...

Front:


Interior Pinnacle R/R/R/TD/TD/R/R/R


HLF


Ghosts behind the grill R


R4s in fog light area R


Maybe some Universal Undercovers in the low beams W


100D Speaker


Side:


Intersectors R


Ghost on B pillar R/W


Rear:


UltraLite 8 R


Universal Undercovers in brake lights R


LED3s on LP A


Siren/Control:


380R


Mount the vhf remote head in the center console and put the rest of the unit in the trunk or under a seat if it will fit.


Note: The obviously don't make any vehicle specific brackets for your vehicle, so you would have to modify any bracket to fit or make your own. On the Interior Pinnacle, you would have to measure and pick the one that you think would fit best. Some minor modifications to the shroud may have to be made in addition to the brackets. If you wanted to make your life easier, you could always do an UltraLite 8 or 12 in the front headliner. Also, instead of trying to make something fit in your grill, you could go with a dash light (UltraLite 4, Dual Predator I/II, etc). If the R4s won't fit in the fog light area, then you could do some Ghosts or LED3s on the lower area below the grill, or possibly even some LED3s or Universal Undercovers in the fog light area.


All in all, it might be a little bit of a tough install since its not one of the big 3 American manufactures that are usually used for emergency vehicles, but you still have lots of options. You may just have to be a little creative in how you use the products your select and how you mount them.


Hope this helps some. If you have any questions, let me know.

although you're pretty limited w/ that grill, i personally wouldnt use an LP bracket up front b/c i think it'd look awkward. up front, i would use some clear LAWs, and either 1 R/C dual avenger or tomar 200s on the dash, and another 1 up on the headliner for a 3rd level of warning (ideally behind the RVM to be centered, but prob wont be able to fit it behind the RVM, so u could just put it slightly off-center on the passenger side of the RVM). u could also look into a pair of vertexes in front of the grill; b/c they have a wide range of visibility (compared to standard surface mounts), they might be a decent option for the time being w/ that tricky, upward-facing grill. i personally wouldn't use an interior lightbar b/c i'd imagine that it'd be hard to get a nice, snug fit on an altima against the windshield. i'd also look into SOS intersector or ghosts clipped under the mirrors.


for the rear, i'd keep it something simple: 1-2 avengers on the rear deck and a LP bracket w/ a pair of linz6's
 
Everyone is giving me some great ideals. Thank You. What do you think about the smart sirens ss2000 ? I am not for sure if the pinnacle will fit due to the rvm but i really like them. I am thinking deff the vertexes in the fog lights cause mine done not have the fog lights. I would like the par36 but i don't think they would fit. And I may have to take the billet grill out. But i like the ideal of the vertexes in the grill. Never thought of that. And the ghost on the b pillar deff + . And deff some led hideaway's in the front and rear. Someone had recommend the split color ones? What would be the best and brightest.


In the rear window I am not for sure what I want to go with. I was thinking dual talons one of the left of the rear brake light and one on the right and whelen dominator at top. Or the soundoff signal ultra lite. But i am open for any ideals.


Thanks to all.
