Final install done for Havoc...

Rear facing Whelen Vertex ambers. For such a tiny light, they put out some serious lumens!!! Looking forward to seeing them tonight in the dark.

I did not want wires running down both sides of the light rack....so radio antenna and both lights are routed through the 3rd brake light....:patriot:

You have any night shots? Also, the vertex is a common emergency vehicle light. Did you wire it to stay on constant or did you install a switch on the Scan wire so that you could alternate patterns if you wanted?

I was looking into getting some flush mount Rigids for the rear in amber for visibility purposes but this is a better solution IMO and cheaper. Plus if you install two on the rear you can utilize them in a flash sequence if you're ever on the side of the road changing a tire or something (check your state and local laws before doing this).

I think Mike has these wired as a constant. As do I.

For night shots, they are bright. They will light up the bed of the truck which is nice.

Joe is correct.

Wired mine for constant on. I run them during crappy weather on road, so I did not want to freak people out with the flashing, but you can choose like 30 variations.

Here is a pic at dusk, very bright and as Joe said, lights up the entire bed of the truck too...

Thanks for the responses. This is a great alternative. I'll def be ordering a set before the Snoball. Won't benefit me much but they help those out behind you.
