OK... Still putting our police bike back in uniform. The lights on the rear radio box are LED, Whelens, and all the other lights are strobes. Am I going to need 2 different power packs? one strobe, one LED? Also, can someone ID the clear lens light, rear of the front tire, Parallel with the top of the tire . Its on the crash bar Thanks, Rob.

depends if the leds are self contained or not. leds do not require a power pack/supply. they do require a flasher however. some heads on the market (as the 500s on the box) are "smart" heads and have their own internal flasher. while some need an external flasher: the unit will steady burn when power is applied bit wont flash unless tied into said flasher. the strobes on the other hand will most likely need a supply; do not connect any other light heads to the supply other than the strobes

That light in question still looks to be a 3x4 light head, likely a strobe.
