    Gonna add some LED strobes to my truck and a 2005 F-250, where should I install them?
    I'm thinking of a couple in the grill, 4 on the bumper (2 forward facing, 2 on the sides), and I need some in the rear, where should I mount those?

    Also, thoughts on where to mount them on a truck like this?

    Already talked to local LEO's about legality.

    Got some strobes for my truck, amber and white.
    The fronts will be easy, but I'm not sure where to put them on the back, I can put 4 on the back bumper, but they won't be very high or far apart.
    My plan is 2 white and 2 amber for the front, and 4 amber, 2 white on the back.

    Did you finish these up? Are those Whelens? They also seems kinda tall, any lower profile or flush mounts available?

    I got 2 Ambers mounted on the front a few weeks ago, still haven't messed with the rear and white ones yet.
    For my use I didn't need to spend the $ on wheelen so I found some off of ebay.

    I put the ambers under the headlights because they would be pretty exposed on the bumper and also the passenger wing of the bumper has my winch solenoid and I didn't want to design around that.

    I still want to mount 2 white strobes in the grill also.
    Photos of the amber strobes below, if you click the las photo it'll take you to a video on Flickr showing them working.
