I am a volunteer Firefighter and I want to install strobe wig-wags in the head & tail lights. I bought the truck used and the last owner had them installed but removed them before he traded:(. Anyone have any tips on runnin' the wires or where to put the power supply? Also I know a guy that has some, and he said to get AT LEAST 75 watts or more or you will not see them durring the day. Anyone had this problem?

Thanks,

I have mine mounted behind rear seat on the shelf where jack handle is stored. You can run wirs out through cab vent in back wall. Run positive cable from battery directly to unit. Can run cables also through step plate cover, they just pop out.

rescue7 how many watts do you have? btw thanks for the info):h

I have 60 watt strobes 2 in grill and each parking light. No problem with beightness, if you put them in headlights they get washed out when headlights are on. Also have 48" mx 7000 strobe and rotator lightbar.

You also might want to consider a weatherproof pack such as a Tomar. I had 2 of them, one under the hood and one screwed to the underside of the bed.It was nice in the way that I did not need to run cables all over the place and then into the cab. Just had to run A relay switch wire to the inside. Nice thing is if you add more lights, you just plug them in without the hassle of running new cables into the cab. Just my .02

Wig-wags (front) and flash-backs (rear) are different then strobes. The wig-wags I used in the past were a powered unit that connects to both the high and low beams, in your exsisting wiring harness. They were fairly easy to install since they worked by flasing your high/low/high/low. There lots of places on the web that sells them. It will take some hunting around to find the correct wires to crimp up front.

i have the neobe strobes on my truck. controller is under the back seat. front bulbs went in the DRL's as i don't like them anyways. back ones i put in the reverse lights. you can definately see them in the daytime, even when i have them on the lower intensity setting. i think the neobe ones are brighten than the conventional strobes.

I am also a volunteer firefighter - I have my strobe power supply mounted under the back seat in the drivers side. It's a 4 x 90w random flash pattern from Nova. The pics are here:

There is also a Whelen Power Air Horn (No siren, just the air horn tone)

As well as the 911EP LED Commander - I have 10 LED stars on the truck, 4 in the grill, 4 on the tool box, and two below the tailgate, but above the bumper.

The random power supply is awesome it cycles through all the patterns on its own with no switching.

Is there a plug and play high-low wig wag like you are talking about for our trucks? What brand?

Thanks

No plug and play ones that I have ever seen, they were pretty generic. They were going in Ferd state police explorers.
