LED warning light in grille

[stxraptor]

Here is my most recent project. I added four whelen TIR3 led amber warning lights. I got them from www.strobedepot.com for a good price. I also added two in the rear below the lift gate. Everything is hooked up to switch 1 on the raptor aux switches. Attached is a video.

I would pull over if I saw that in my rear view mirror.

Good job.
Looks very familiar LOL and on a blue truck also!!
My only suggestion would be to separate the front and the rear. There are some times when you do not want to attract attention either forward or back, this gives you the flexibility. Also, move the lights to switches 3 and 4. They are the low amp switches since LED's do not draw much. Switches 1 and 2 are the high amp switches.

Yes you are right about the switches but my reasoning is switch 1 is the only switch I can clearly see when am sitting. The gear shift obstructs the view to all the switches except for #1. I want to see the switch to avoid inadvertly driving with the lights on, so it's important for me to have the switch in plain view. Thanks for the compliment.

What was the purpose of installing the lights?

Not trying to rain on your parade, but here in my state of GA, a while back ago, I used to be the deputy coroner... and if you're gonna run red/blue/white strobed lights... you have to have a special certification application/sticker filled out...

Even if you pull over on the side of the road with a mechanical problem/breakdown and run those lights... if a cop comes by, you can get a citation in my state if you don't have the authorization to run them.

I used to run these on my car:

Simple plug into the cigarette lighter/12V port and you're good to go. I still have the lights as I paid for them, I keep them under the rear seat... never know if the SHTF and you gotta get out of Dodge in a hurry... if the SHTF, everyone else is in the same boat... never know if some blinking lights might make people pull out of your way.
