Emergency lighting

Haha its funny some use blue, red, white etc it should all be one color.

Like some police use blue, some use red make it all one color ugh

 

yeah delaware fire uses blue light like what the heck haah

 

code3 9led hide-a-blast in my fogs/reverse

 

If I didnt have HID's I could do that!!!

lol!!!


So anyway talked to a friend he is hooking me up with a siren, speaker, 3 or 4 6" red LED lights, a dash light, then Im going to run my phantom undercover in the front.

Thinking about wig wags as well.

 

nice set up with the strobes in the fog lights i like it im thinking about that also and getting hid head lights is that something easy to do or have some one to do and would it not be a good idea to have strobes and hids? and also did u spray paint your grill black? it looks nice

 

I have hids in there as well. Plenty of clearance but with them on you can't see the leds

 

I live near the Michigan/Indiana Border, in Michigan fire is red, police is blue/red. In Indiana it's reversed, so I have to cover my lights with a banner that reads 'out of service' if the light bar has red that is visible when not lit. If I run clear with red filters inside then I'm good to go. Horror stories circulated the area of guys being pulled over for 'impersonating an officer'. Funny, I didn't think Indiana Police ran out dated Excalibur light bars and rusty long bed dodge rams....

 

No doubt thats why I think everyone in the states should be on a certain color, if I travel into another state (im running leds so I'm ok) I dont want to have to cover my lights.

 

yeah thats crazzy that they make you do that

 

I had an Excalibur light bar with clear domes and red and amber filters. Switched from Red domes just for that reason, it was a hassle covering the light in the winter for a quick day trip to Indiana.

 

The strobes in the fogs look great! I couldn't figure out a good way to do it. I still need to take some video of my setup.

^ whats the back bar he has I like it

 

looks like 2 phantoms you can guy as a kit from Gall's & just mounted to bottom of window....with the kit u can choose your own flash pattern

 

Gotcha I want to LIGHT my back end UP!

Incase I stop to help someone which I do a lot, if Im allowed to use my lights (have not asked or been covered yet)

I want people to see my lights from 1-3miles away!

 

I've been sitting on my thumb about it long enough. I think this weekend I'll be installing my roof mounted light bar to the truck. My buddy is hell bent on drilling a hole through the roof and running the wire between the steel and the head liner, down the B post and up under the seat. My concern is the Airbags. I'd prefer to just run the wire (pretty good in size, maybe 1/2 - 3/4in in Diameter) down the outside of the cab and up through the floor, but it could look pretty tacky.

Suggestions? I've run the wire through the 3rd tail light before but again concerned about airbag locations and setting em off or interfering with them in the event I need them to go off.

My only experiance with airbags is cutting around them when popping a door on the freeway, never owned a truck with more than a steeringwheel mounted bag before.

 

Do not drill a hole through your roof......

 

Ha, He says "Oh shit, Every vehicle I've owned in the last 15 years has a hole in the roof from a light bar"

I'm thinking if I can peel and peek at the placement of the airbags in the C post that through the 3rd taillight and down the post is the ticket.

 

hey hunter!....i've been a volunteer for over 20 yrs and have traveled all over and it seems everytime my wife & i are on a road trip we all ways roll up on an accident, every time i have my lights on and have never had a trooper ask me do i have a "permit" for those lights or " you can't have that color in this state"...it has always been "thank you" for stopping.....i think the same way you do..i got my lights on so my truck wont get hit...plus to let the responders know where we are

 

^ exactly

good stuff thanks for sharing
