hey i have a f-250 i use for recovery and i have a beacon and strobes in headlights and tail light and leds in the grll i want to run the spilt phantoms and mor lights but i wan out of my upfitter switches so i was wondering what you have all the 12 volt plugs an to thanks
What state is this in? Here in Washington, Tow trucks are allowed to have red lights in all direction. Only rule is the vehicle must not be in motion to have the lights activated.
Im looking to install 4 strobes,2 front headlights and 2 in the rear tail lights.
I've got all my cables, strobes and the power supply. Do I just run a hot and ground to the power supply, then plug the cables and run to each strobe? Any info would be great!

They are street legal. The truck is decaled for thew towing company and so long as I can make plainly clear why they are on then I'm fine to use them. If I was just rolling down the street with them on a cop might have something to say but can't do much because there are no forward facing red or any blue lights. Neons are illegal because they are not a warning or DOT approved vison, marker or stop tail turn in any color.
no, police generally won't bother you with amber's, though you need to check the laws in your area.
if you're driving around fast with the lights on trying to act like you're responding to an emergency, they DO NOT put up with that crap, so don't. i have lights on my trailblazer for storm chasing, a rear facing lightbar so idiots don't run into me during high precip but i don't run it while i'm moving.
just be careful and dont try and act like an emergency vehicle if you're not.
I'm a supervisor at a towing company and sometimes have to go to a scene. I got tired of people cutting me off when i'm driving up the shoulder or just sitting behind me when i get to the scene. The lights are for safety and so people know I'm there officially.
Anyone can buy an amber/yellow lighting kit. You can install them on any vehicle. Just when you are on the road the cops have to see some real purpose for them to be on. You can use them for any reason on private property. Some people have told me that the white strobe heads are illegal but no officer has ever said anything to me.
Technically speaking in some if not most states they are legal as long as you do not flash them on roads. You can use them on private property as long as you're not impersonating a law enforcement officer.
do you have any pics of the interior? Are there any visible cords? And do you have it all hooked up to a single master switch box where you can control the lights?
LOL. That reminded me of this guy who had a Mustang GT [that had a MAJORLY suped up engine] and put these lights on.
Ha ha. Vroom.
Funnily enough, a police officer tried to pull him over [Squad cars here are un-touched Chevy Impalas] for impersonating a police officer I guess Well. They didn't catch him
Actually, having lights like this doesnt constitute impersonating an officer. As an ex police officer, I can tell you that to constitute impersonating an officer you either have to represent yourself as an officer, or assume the duties of an officer. Just having lights isnt much more than a parts violation or illegal equipment citation. I mean, tow trucks have lights, ambulances, utility trucks, fire engines.. etc. You could be impersonating a tow truck for all they know. Lol
Im guessing you got the split phantom for the chevy tahoe since they dont make it for the silverado right? i have a gmc so it should work on mine then.
the reason for the corner strobes are for the corner. no one can see those strobes in the sides because the fog lamps are only viewable from the front.
The double hull of the headlights was a little tricky to 1) Judge exactly where the bulb would protrude. and 2) I dodn't have the concern of intersection clearing. The veh is for roadside work and some escort. So I took the easier route with the fogs since straight on is what I was concerned about. 3rd brake light worked out better than i thought it would. I was sure they would blow the incadecents for the bed lights but they are still working.
Sure can. The clear strobes are a bit of a gray area in the law. I've had it on accidentscenes running the lights with cops all around and none of them have ever said anything to me. Also have done a few escorts as well.
Once I recieved the proper mounts for the LEDs it was very simple. Takes 10mins to install the fronts. The rears take some wire routing but its nothing major. All work (strobes and leds) took one day. Strobes were definately the most diffucult. But overall it was never so hard where I would wish somebodyelse was doing it.
I installed two mini phantoms led lights in the rear of my tow truck and two in the front and when i get to an accident scene and turn my lights on they stop cars when i face oncoming traffic.
absolutely awesome video! great light set up too. i have an 04 chevy ext cab that i just put a 37 inch arrow bar in the back window of and a pair of grille leds on the front grille. i also have a pair of strobe tubes in the cargo lights. i want to get a 6 outlet 90 watt strobe kit and put them in the front now, like two in the fogs, two in the low beams, and two in the highbeams. i'm not sure yet how that is going to work out, but hey great job on yours
The Third Brake light was the easiest to do actually. Just removed the light cut the holes and made sure the strobes didn't touch the brake bulbs. Ran the wires behind the headliner and down the side panel and hooked;em into the box.
dude seriously, nice fuckin touch. i love the 3rd brakelight strobes! i have a whelen 8 head 150 watt box with 2 spots with nowhere to put more strobes.. thank you for the idea!
You're welcome! It was pretty easy once you get the courage to say "I'm gonna make this 1inch hole in my brand new truck. Then I'm gonna make six more in the lights." Some advice: Skip the headlights if you can. The twin hull design is very intricate and the outer does not match the inner.
