WTB: Strobe Lights for emergency use

[MHS2846bg8]

if you're still looking, I have extra red and extra blu LED lights. I forgot what brand, but i can post pics this weekend. I bought a lot of them and can only use the amber and white ones. So I have red and blue ones available.

possibly interested in the red. blue is considered impersonating a cop in my area so thats a no go

Don't want to start a war here but i install all these lights on gov vehicles and clear hide away strobes are still brighter than clear hide away leds in daylight especially. I proved the guys from DEA wrong the other day with a demonstration that changed their minds to run hideaway strobes.

Easiest place to mount hideaways in tacomas are in the fogs and reverse btw.

Your corner lens should have enough space to mount one.

The only colors I would use in the rear are amber - red will tend mesmerize drivers.

It's called Phototaxis - "Moth-to-Flame Effect". Causes people to become mesmerized by the light, instead of causing them to be more cautious and aware.

If you want to keep the reds in the rear, just add some amber/clear lights to break it up.

As long as the red isn't overpowering (meaning you have enough of amber/clear to break it up) it isn't an issue.

Gotcha.

It will all depend on your budget and how you want to mount everything.

well they actually mount on the tube that runs between the frame rails for the hitch and hang down but they are not hanging way down just about the level of the hitch tucked up and out of the way and they alternate back and forth intensly

I just meant the types of lights you add will all depend on your budget and how you want to mount them (talking about adding amber/clear ones).
