the wiring is pretty easy but a pain in the *** to hid the wire so i had my local fd strobes place do it they customize all my fire trucks with strobes and everything then they had to re wire my switch box cause im a idiot lol i payed 200 for everything but i only have 2 flash patterns out of the 15 i wanna fix that soon but they blind ya there brighter then cops lol cops use 35 watt bulbs i have 6 60 watts plus i have 2 wheelen mini leds im putting on each side of my license plat the rear
i have the clear turn signals and corners shipped yesterday ill post that up once i get them and moun them. im thinking also about instead of clears for front change them to blue bulbs and add those to bulbs somewhere else lol

I'm not sure about your state, but just putting strobes on your vehicle doesn't make it an emergency vehicle. The only thing your strobes can legally do are make better hazards. Do you take your jeep straight to the call?

I do have a problem with your grammar and punctuation. I understand that this is not an English class but proper writing etiquette helps the people reading your posts.
LOL.........wtf. Somebody's havin a bad day...

It's his jeep, he can center a pole with it if he wants cause its his jeep. So he can do whatever he wants with it
Well said. i think that guy was having a bad day.

Are you talking about changing the stock turn bulbs to blue bulbs?

Here in Ontario the fire fighters have green strobes in their personal vehicles. We respect the green strobe and pull over to let the vehicle thru, they are trying to get to a tough job. Your strobe video looks good, thanks for posting and thanks for doing the job.
