I had a Firebeam setup just like yours on my dash but at night I would get a lot of flashback on the windshield and it made it hard to see out. Do you get that with yours?
actually, I did have a flashback issue, but I fashioned a flashback shield for the top of the combo (used cardboard cut to shape and painted black) which eliminated almost all of it. What little is left is not a big deal.
used is typically the best way to go unless you got the money. and them light get pretty dang pricey even if there priced as cheap on sites. im very low icome and with parents so right now even what i make is hard to come up with the money..
I have to be honest, I thought your vehicle setup was gonna be diff than what it is. When your just watching videos of you getting to the scene you dont see much.. But now that I see this, im kinda suprised. I thought you would of had a full LED setup, with blue and red and amber lights.. FUll on the top and a few red and whites on the inside..
Not bad other wise.. I have one amber light but like you say, I only have it on my car roof when needed..
Well, this is my second car, with the whole idea being that I can take the lights down and have a "normal" car if I want. If you haven't seen "Rogue 2007" check it out, that's my main response car. Ivy's been sitting for quite some time 'cause I didn't have the money for the plate and insurance, but I got her back on the road this weekend. You'll probably see more responses from her now, but most of them will probably still be in Rogue . . . As for LEDs, see my reply to AngerFist . . . ;)
Thanks :) yeah, but the whole reason I like having two cars is that I can take the lights off the roof of Ivy and have a "normal" car if I want :) I like both cars, for different reasons . . .
How much money have you put into that setup? Looks like a very efficient setup and you can definitely be seen from a distance with those lights on. Great video!
Looks good :)

Very nice clear and reasonable setup!
You should try LED's in your next car.
