There was only one shot, with the trunk lid up, so it is hard to tell, but it looks like the TLF and BLF are synced. While the TLF is still not a viable warning light, it would look tons better synced with the BLF.

The color configuration of that Pinnacle is horrible. It looks like a teal and lavender mess.

Sure, but it's what the customer wanted, so that's how it was done.

The factory brake light flasher looked like it was synced with the aftermarket tail light flasher. Alternating the brake light with the tail lights. Or was it just a lucky catch on video?

Solid install by star car, but I don't know why so many customers can't keep stuff simple...left headliner pinnacle red, right headliner pinnacle blue, a HLF, & solid rear avengers.


Although i Prefer the basic Wigwag TLF, It's interesting what they did in the rear, but I would have flashed both vertexes at the same right, rather than 1 vertex alternating with entire tailgate & other vertex. How did they wire it?


Also, is this a chief or admin vehicle that they went with the civi charger & no havis console? On a side note, I love the combination of gunmetal grey & chrome trim

Boy, the one guy isn't much of a talker is he? Solid install though. Holy cow that's quite a bundle of wires! I like these videos though, always good to get ideas!

Nice install. I know you do as the customer asks but I just don't understand why people tint lights? It isn't like the light wont be noticed just because the lens is tinted.

Steward clearly says it is the police package in the video and it has a column shift, per Dodge it is option: Street Appearance Group (AEB).


I did not know current Chargers until I just did a search, but after looking at Dodge fleet web page I see they also offer a full civilian console like the Caprice 9C3 for the detective option note above.


So that being said about the Caprice you still have fully functional rear door handles and power windows (both 9C1 & 9C3). With GM police vehicles it is an option to delete rear door access, from the factory they are fully functional. I think that is just stupid of Dodge to delete that as standard and make owners add the hardware if they ware working doors. Especially wit the detective package.

Relax dude. I'm sorry that I only watched the minute of the video, b/c I did not have the time to watch a full 20 minute vid from my iphone in between calls, so I did not hear Stuart say what model charger it was

You tint the lenses so the reflections from them are not as visible behind the window tint. I have seen this car on the road, and if I didn't know there were lights there I would not have seen them. There is nothing to draw your attention to them anymore unless you catch the silhouette.

Except the intersectors hanging down from the mirrors but still a solid install. Idk what patterns the pinnacle offers but that pattern looks horrible on those mixed r/b sides. If they were solid as mentioned above it'd look great. I realize its what the customer wanted but I don't think it hurts for an installer/ upfitter to show the customer a video of purple blob to demonstrate why it would be more effective on another pattern / bar configuration. But overall solid install. Also kind of interesting that they want a full visible radio setup and laptop mount but yet a hhs2200. If the radio was hidden in the console etc then it's an obvious choice. But looks nice and effective. Would have liked to see the HLF on in one of the closing shots too to get the "total effect". And yeah that one installer is shy as hell. Lol poor kid.


Good job on the video! Keep em up!

I was only talking about the tinted lights. :D


I spotted the intersectors from a long way out.
