Hey there, I dont know if i heard your video right, but you said "I use a motorola 10 meter radio for fire dept and chasing". Well how can public service use the Ham radio band? I would really check to make sure you are giving the right infromation. Over all nice job with the lights.
Did you have to run any wires through your firewall? if so how did you go about doing that. I have an 02 Taurus and trying to figure out how to run my TIR3 wires through. No one knows where any holes with gromets would be. Please help
Hi Sims, not sure how much difference there is between the '03 and '02, I doubt there's too much. Anyways, I found a hole with a plug in it just to the left of the fuse box on the drivers side. I put a small slice, big enough to run the wire through and ran it through the firewall that way. Any more questions I can try to help with, just send a quick email. Thanks
@sims7992 if you can't find ne holes in ur firewall alrdy u can drill (make sure u check both sides of the fire all of where ur drilling so as not to hit nething) and purchase a grommet to keep the hole from cutting the wires. But i drilled in my 98 camry when i had it no porb. Ur other alternative is to run it up thru ur fender to ur engine or thru the hole ur fuse box uses that leads to ur engine. I'm sure this is late considering u posted 2yrs ago but i lyk assisting if i can :)
You should clean up that wiring behind the radio equipment, get some wire loom and zip ties and wrap it up all up! Right now it looks like a vehicle fire waiting to happen. Maybe even spray paint that piece of wood black to give it a cleaner look...?
I would reccomend you get a CB. Then you can get in contact with nearby truckers that may have come from the direction you are going. They can tell you if they saw anything. I have one in my car and I have talked with truckers during chases before.
I doubt I'll put in the CB. I've had one for quite a while, but I'm so tired of all the crap that is on them anymore. What I may do instead is take out a scanner? and add a ham radio probably in the 2 meter range. But that will be sometime after I get my license. So I may just go that route.
nice, not too flashy, a chaser doesn't need a million and one lights

I'm currently using Signal LED's in the back and I believe Whelen LED's up in the front. And the amber halogen's are galls. Thanks for viewing
