what lights or light bar is in that grill and can I get them in an amber clear color combp as well I would love to stick those light in my tow truck grill any info would be great appreciated
I like to know much it will cost me. To put some strobes/Lights on my 2010 Polaris Ranger crew cab , & my 2010 or 2011 F-350 Super duty Crew Cab . I like this set up.
Yes it is a dually 2011- F550 4x4 Crew Cab with 84 CA, Looking at putting a Flat bed on it . Haven't found the bed that I'm looking for. Its going be nice when i get done.
There is no reason why you would possible need that many blinking lights on a vehicle of ANY kind!
I have driven threw intersections blind because a police car or fire truck is parked on the corner with eight hundred million strobes flashing directly in my face.
It is a hazard when people put so many lights on a car you cant see what else is going on around you!
@shortwavecolt the whole idea is for a person to be seen, when u see flashing lights your supposed to stop. When its blinding it gets peoples attention, but instead of stopping, you cover your eyes and go on through?
If I have to approach an intersection with an emergency vehicle or PLOW TRUCK, I should not be forced off the road by 500 blinding lights! 75% of the time I see emergency lights on the road I am driving BY THEM! In Michigan our speed limit is 70 MPH. The State Police still run the same bubble gum machine on there roof as they did in the 70's
If the State police can live with a classic rotating beacon, there is no reason why a civilian vehicle needs to look like a space shuttle on take off.
@shortwavecolt well, u really shouldn't stare at the lights anyways, they are to get your attention and make u become alert to what's going on around you. I have been to a lot of court, involving civies hitting emergency vehicles at the side of the road, they said they didn't see them, since then they have made it so obvious you are just stupid to not see them. I work a lot of night work and the amount of lights doesn't bother me, because I can see them and so can everyone else
@shortwavecolt Those of us with blinding Christmas Lights majority of people are off the road and in safety. You need to be a mental retard driving in the most severe road conditions. It is for our safety and the safety of civilians.
Obviously you don't understand why there are laws on lighting a vehicle. You can't run huge off road lights on the top of a car because it will blind the people that are in front or in oncoming traffic. I use a diplomatic vehicle for work. Tell me why this guy needs 15 flashing lights to plow snow, when they can transport a diplomate threw traffic with only four?
@shortwavecolt In Hazardous conditions those lights will have a 100-150 feet visibility. With few lights only 15-30. Never driven in snowstorms or blizzards.
Even in Tornado Warnings. That is when Tornado Touches Ground. You need 15 strobe lights to increase visibility. They are never used when there is visibility. You need the 100-150 feet visibility. Better than 15-30 feet. Which could cause a nasty car pile up.
I don't believe that for a minute! I will bet every chance you get to flip on those lights, you do! That is the type of person that spends that kind of time and money to setting up something that ridicules.
Its not like I can just call my boss and tell him "I can't come to work because it is snowing" I'M FROM MICHIGAN!
You don't have to bullshit me man. I understand that some guys like there truck high, some loud and some with crazy flashing lights.
I understand all of the discussion in regard to all of the lighting on this vehicle. I see you are from Michigan, I grew up in Saginaw, and up there when any type of emergency vehicle approaches everyone pulls off to the right and stops. NOT down here in Virginia! I drive an ambulance and have people try to race me up the road or will stop right in front of me or not even see me. Sometimes the more the obnoxious the lighting and siren the better. At least down here in Virginia!
I totally agree with what you are saying. As a moving emergency vehicle there is an expectation that you will need to warn people of where you are going.
My beef is when people think it is ok to blind everyone that comes within 500 yards. Because they are part of a road crew or because an officer is directing traffic. That is why most squad cars have non strobe takedowns as well as several selection switches.
If you don't believe me, think about pulling up to that truck in the det of night!
@shortwavecolt You know what it is like drivving in 2 feet of unplowed snow then on a Highway and how much visibility there is??? I would not mind that truck coming up and blinding me due to road conditions.
People do not drive unless your suicidal in blizzard and heavy snow conditions. I never seen a truck yet which did not have all lights on unless in severe conditions.
Anhd, you complain like a little sissy girl which just wet her panties.
I don't understand what you are getting at? The reason I drive a 3/4 ton 4x4 diesel Suburban Is so I could navigate threw snow, mud, ice and the occasional curb. Just because you have a truck with a plow on it doesn't mean you are any more capable at controlling a vehicle than anyone else.
Face it, this was posted to show everyone how cool this truck is. Not how well they can navigate ice and snow.
Like I said earlier, If a Michigan State Trooper can live with a bubble gum machine, why cant U
@shortwavecolt Michigan State Troopers get in more accidents you dumb fuck. Many do not see that light and bam accident. And, Michigan is changing to LEDs. Michigan just did not want to change with the times since you are a backwards ass state. That is why Michigan has more Al-Qaeda than any state in the union.
Do you actually believe typing factless crap into the computer will prove your point? I have never heard of any major complaint with the Michigan State police and there vehicle illumination. They have been using LED's for the last 10 years (behind the grill and rear window.) Dearborn Michigan has the largest Arab population outside of the Middle East. There are also KKK members all threw the South, should we kill every white person in the country? I know who built that F550, IN MICHIGAN!
@shortwavecolt Not talking about grill and rear window I am talking the dome. Wheelen Lights are doing Michigan Roof Dome Light. Michigan does not want to change with the times.
You do not need roof led lights at all. What is needed most is rear windshield, grill, front windshield, and side view mirrors and have a suburban side back windows and also theside bottom. That is all for visibility.
You never been in a Hurricane and you need close to 80 lights.
@shortwavecolt In Hazardous conditions those lights will have a 100-150 feet visibility. With few lights only 15-30. Never driven in snowstorms or blizzards.

@shortwavecolt Like I stated you need to be a mental retard driving in WORST Road Conditions. That is the only time we have emergency lights on which are brighter than a christmas tree.
@shortwavecolt Like I stated you need to be a mental retard driving in WORST Road Conditions. That is the only time we have emergency lights on which are brighter than a christmas tree.
Those are only 2 Abled 2 LED by the inch busted up in 5 6 inch segments. I have put well over 300 inches on one side of the same flasher and didn't blow it. It got hot as hell but wouldn't fail.
i blow one side out on my sho-me flash running 4 lights per side. I don't know if the sf modle is rated for more out put or not. Put you are pushing some power through it. Looks good keep push'n
