Do they only come on when the rear gate is open? If so how did you make it do that?

Looks like they have bother red and white LEDs. Good install, like the TIR6's over tir3. Love to see a video!

An awsome light, gives off awsome natural light. The truck is not done yet i still have to clean up the wires which will be done when the radios come in. There will be a video when the truck is finished

Ain't that a six-headed Dominator? Or are you talking about the one mounted on the side of the brush guard? If so, isn't that a Whelen 500 TIR6? Back to top    URL Evan D.

The only thing I would do differently is on the Liberty, move the takedowns out one more spot to where the LED modules are now to the left and right of the takedowns L = LED, TD = Takedown Currently: L/L/TD/L/L/TD/L/L Make it: L/TD/L/L/L/L/TD/L Just my .02

What does it matter? I don't think that the Fire Chief will be conducting traffic stops where he needs proper placement of takedowns.

My 5 cents is they are fine right where they are. Back to top    URL EVModules

Looks nice & clean but in my opinion, way over kill on the rear lighting. I would have stopped on the installation of the rear directional & corner strobes. How are you running the cables for the lightbar? I don't see a conduit in the roof.

truck doesnt have strobes. Lightbar cable goes in the roof right behind the lightbar then runs along the roof to the d pillar and follows that down side curtain air bags suck
