Which grille lights... Ion, Fedsig MPS1200 or Brooking ST26

Trying to decide which lights for behind the grille in a PI sedan slicktop application. I have the ions and yes they are super bright and low profile. Thinking about switching to the Fedsig micropulse ultra 1200 or Brooking ST26 for a bigger footprint. Have not seen either in person. Anyone recommend if it would be worth "upgrading" to either of those?

Thanks!

Well, obviously the latter 2 options will have larger footprints because they have 12 diodes each, compared to the 6 diode ion. As long as you flash them whole (as opposed to split flash), I like the idea of upgrading to have a larger footprint.

As far as going with fedsig or brookings here, I really don't have a stronger recommendation for one over the other, because the original 6 diode micropulses, if I recall correctly, were simply rebranded axixtech products, and Brookings is a company in south Florida that sells rebranded axixtech products/is their main US distributor. Not sure if the ultra 1200s are also rebranded/outsourced, but, despite some very minimal differences in the specs, I'm guessing that the difference in quality and output between these 2 lightheads is negligible (if at all)

The ions are great. Just the footprint is kind of small. I bought a pair of M4's which are perfect for the larger footprint and definitely not a downgrade on the light output. The only problem is they are too big/noticeable for this unmarked application.

Which I didn't realize until I had them in hand and bheld them up to the grille...
Too bad it's gotta be covert.....I'd love to see M4's in the grill <3.
Anytime you have the mesh grill, the lights will still be somewhat visible no matter what IMO, but if u wanna make them less noticeable when off, you can consider the smoked lens look or putting stockings over them (a little trick that some guys like).

What about a Feniex 400 Fusion stick? I think it would fit in the top of the grill and would be bright and pretty low profile.
