As a volunteer Firefighter in OH I need to have 360 degree white and red flashing lights and siren on my vehicle to respond to my fire station "Code 3" For the past 20 years I have done everything from the magnetized gumdrop to the full LED bars with directional arrows and everything in between on everything from beater cars to lease trucks and even a classic '78 Bronco with triple bubbles like from Emergency (the only light bar I still have, actually).
Now that I am a grown-up and awaiting delivery of my 2017 Cement TRD Pro I am trying to decide how to integrate Scene lights, Emergency lights and Trail lights into one solid package.
I do have a GOBI rack that is under production, only six years or so to wait on that to deliver haha, that I plan to place the larger Red and Whites across the front, then run a string of tiny single red/whites between the top and bottom stealth rails to complete the 360 around (not 100% around, but in all directions ya know). I just want to have two simple switches set up, one for emergency with all flashing, and the other for scene lights with only the whites that should illuminate all the way around the truck. I would also not mind tucking some strobes into the otherwise useless hood scoop just for the kid in me to still smile about, maybe even with the KIT car look for those special occasions!
Thinking ahead though... I may want a switch to run only reds too while in camp at night that will preserve my night vision...hmm, I won't get ahead of myself here.
Anyway, I spent a good chunk of time looking and found nothing on the 5th gen side and only two other threads, one 5 years old and the other 10 years that have not seen activity since.
Are there any First Responders out there who have set up their 5th gens with something other than a dash light that can share pics or videos and/or advice on what it will be like getting into the process of wiring up the system. The '78 Bronco was easy but I really fear I will need to pay a certified uber smart technician to add electrical components to this rig, but I hope I am wrong.
