Hello,


I am setting up my old ford f150 pickup 1993, I do roadside rescue, ie stranded motorist so my primary lighting is to rear of vehicle, so here is what i have on truck,


I am using a Code 3 V-CON switch box has 3 way pursuit switch.


now for lighting,


jetstream 3 rotator lightbar amber.


rear facing wig-wag in jetstream, optional wig wags can be turned on to steady mode with switch #8.


top of tool box a fs 6 head arrowstick which is set just as flashing unit, no controller for it,optional can be steady burn on switch #7.


corner strobes,


dual head code 3 strobe on dash.


so my ? is which iteams do you all suggest go to which switch.


1


2.


3.


4.


5 is momentary switch. maybe good for air horn?this way when I got the box!


6.


7. steady burn stick.


8. steady burn wig-wag.


i could put both steady on one switch but lose some flexability,


thanks for looking and responding. :)

Truth be told, all you need is two switches, one for rear flash and another for rotators. If you have work lights, add another switch.

+1. More switches doesn't make you any more effective. do what we do on our installs. First slide position is rear/sides, second slide is front, and third is your whites. works great for when you pull up on a scene so you're not blinding the people in front of you.
