Side mount light.

Alright guys, I have a 2000 blazer 2door and I'm looking to get side lights. I have a dual Avenger in the front and a ledo dash light in the rear, which will be removed when I get my six head Awl stick this week. At the moment all are cigarette but I may be putting in a switchbox this week. I'm trying to get a light that will blast through my dark factory tint. Looking mostly at one head units to keep cost down, I'm currently looking at the Awl Pulse 1 or the Feniex cobra 100. Will be either Amber or most likely white. Will be used in security, most of the time will be used while obstructing a lane, or when going through the new construction zone that is my patrol area, so not as much worried about off axis. Basically I'm looking for ideas and whichever will blast through my heavy tint.

Microman or Strobes N More products are exceptional, economically-priced TIR products. I would not recommend going with the star products; aside from star dealers, very few ppl will recommend them over similarly-priced products

Microman seems very well priced and has exceptional reviews. to be honest star seems a bit much, I could get a two head light for the price of their one head. Im leaner towards microman even though ill have to get a flasher.

U can buy them with built-in flashers, or u can hardwire & sync 2 units (not that it's a big deal, since they're on opposite sides of the vehicle)

Seems to be the way to go. I'm a complete Noob with wiring so it will be an adventure going into flashers and switchboxes. Need to learn it and it seems easy. Thanks for the help guys, didn't even think of microman off the top of my head.

See I'm good for something sometimes lol he does sell a version that has a built in flasher but he does not sell a single head version it would not be hard to wire in a flasher all you need is a power and ground to the flasher itself them wire the + to the left or right side and the - to the ground of the flasher and boom they flash I have a set at work that I display for new customers and they love the simplicity of them oh and the price

The issue with price is where you look to buy it. Places that sell Star/SVP products typically over inflate the pricing to make other brands that they are more loyal too look better.


DLX4's can be had for around $60 if I am not mistaken which is not much more than the T-6 which is also a great light. We carry Microman and SVP. Both are awesome for the money. The DLX6 is cheaper than the Ion and in my opinion does punch tint better.
