That’s a VERY impressive install, and an effective setup. I am a harsh critic for professional and pov setups, this is clean, looks professional, has quality product choices, and the symmetry all makes it look very good. Well done and thanks for your service 🚒
Yeah, my goal was to make them not so noticeable and still maintain their brightness. I wanted to tint the ones on my hood and my license plate too but I forgot to do it before I put them on.
If you would just slow the flash pattern down to slow as possible you would get more out of the lights and be seen better… I like how you have it installed though… good job..
Awesome light package. Here in PA, even with all of the lights, it is still illegal due to the fact there is no light on the roof that can be seen from 360 degree around the vehicle. The only vehicles that can have any types of emergency lights and not have one on the roof here in PA is police.
Neat setup, man! I'm looking to be a volunteer and I'm trying to get an idea of how I want my truck to look if I get hired on (I unfortunately own a 2017 F-150, not my kind of truck 😒). I'm here in Louisiana and I keep getting mixed messages on lights and sirens on POVs. My dad and Google say that only lights are acceptable and a POV shall not have any sirens or audible devices. On the other hand, a guy who I'm good friends with who use to work for a neighboring Parish as Assistant Chief said otherwise. So I'm not too sure what to believe. Maybe the current Chief can fill me in on it more when I go for an interview. I guess it all depends on the Parish/County in the states anyway? Again, nice setup and slick looking truck overall.
Thank you! So the Louisiana state law allows firefighters to have red lights and audible devices such as a siren. The lights have to be visible from 360° of your vehicle and cannot display any blue. Your fire chief has the authority to allow you or not allow you to have lights and siren on your vehicle. If your chief does allow it then you’re most likely going to have to get a “red light and siren” permit from your fire department signed by the chief.
@treycamardelle No problem, dude! And thanks for everything you do by the way. 👨🚒 🚒 Well in that case, a Fed Sig PA300 siren and a couple red Speedtech lights shall be going on my current truck if I get hired and if I get the OK from the Chief. And if/when I ever upgrade to the truck of my dreams (newer Silverado/Sierra gas-powered dually), I'm installing nothing but Whelen on it.
@@MAGA-Chad whelen is nice don’t get me wrong, that’s what most of my lights are because I was under the impression that whelen was the best of the best. But now code 3 and federal signal has been coming out with some really quality products for the past few years for a cheaper price. I started buying some of their products lately.
I’m sorry, I’m use to people commenting on my other video. In one of my first videos I go into detail on what light brands and names of the lights I have.
The siren box is in the middle console arm rest. I just tapped into the MAN and AIR HORN buttons on the siren box and added new momentary switches on my dash so I don’t have to keep raising and lowering my arm rest to control the siren. And the light switches are on the side of my center console by my leg.
I took out the clothes hanger hooks and bent some flat bar to make the bracket, then I screwed the bracket into the spot that the clothes hangers went in.
Yes I still have this truck. I think the max towing rating for this truck with the ecodiesel engine is around 13,000 pounds. But I pull floats in the Mardi Gras parades every year and the floats with 30 people plus beads weigh around 25,000 pounds. I’m only doing about 5 mph when I tow them but it still pulls it with no problem.
No problems yet. I’ve had it for about 5 years now and I haven’t had to do anything to it besides the normal maintenance (oil change, filter change, etc…). It had a few minor recalls, but the dealership took care of them. I get about 18mpg in the city and about 24mpg on the highway. I fill up at a half of a tank about once every week and a half to two weeks depending on my driving.
what kind of double sided tape? My boyfriend had his lights up for 2 years and only had to restick twice. He got a new truck and they are falling down weekly
I can’t remember the name of it. I think it may be clear gorilla tape or 3m tape. I show the tape I used in the visor light video I made a year or two ago
@@treycamardelle I’m having to fix my setup. State law requires 360 coverage and a siren. I wasn’t taking care of stuff like I should’ve and some of the lights get to where they don’t work. Mines a 15 silverado
So this is the first video of your I’ve seen so are you a volunteer firefighter and if so how did you look up your states regulations and what state are you in? Love the set up by the way beautiful truck
Thanks! I’m a paid operator/firefighter. I’m located in Louisiana. I’m not sure how you can look up the regulations. Maybe google Louisiana emergency lights regulations. Our department issues us a lights and siren permit card that we have to be in compliance with.
Thanks! No it’s not leveled. It’s about 1-3/4 inches higher in the back. I raised it 3 inches in the front and 3 inches in the back with a supreme suspension 3 inch lift kit. Every lift kit I looked at only offered a leveling kit. I didn’t want it leveled because I tow a bobcat and I didn’t want my truck to have a California lean where the back is lower than the front. This way when I tow the trailer my truck looks level.
I love the set-up except the white to the rear. White to the rear causes too much blinding for people approaching the scene. Just giving my opinion brother.
Thanks! I use to say the same thing. A lot of different agencies use white to the rear over here. I got tired of having just red, that’s why changed it. But I only have two out of all the other lights that flash white to the rear.
There’s no laws in my state on which side has to have certain colors. We only have to have permits for red flashing lights and siren. No other colors (besides blue of corse) are mentioned.
It’s all state by state, if someone is in a professional or volunteer capacity headed to an emergency nobody really cares anyways for the most part 😛, the video where the fellow has an actual squad truck horn on his truck is a tad much though 😆
There’s a wire on each individual light that allows you to select which pattern you’d like to use. Touch it to a 12v wire and it’ll change the flash patterns
@@michaelfoucht8830 no. I most definitely had and still have the option of adding momentary switches, but I don’t like to keep changing the patterns of my lights once I find the right patterns that work for me. I might change a pattern here and there till I figure out which one is most effective, but when I do that I just use a temporary wire to change the patterns with.
The lights on my running boards are just temporary till I get the lights I actually want, then I’ll tent those as well. I use to have light on my tool box too but it seemed like it was an overkill so I just took them off.
Interesting... I have a single red L31 up top Two alternating forward facing Par-46's in red on the push bar Two alternating rear facing Par-46's in amber up on the headache rack Traffic yields for me just fine... often better than when in apparatus, and I don't look like a rolling disco In fact, on mutual-aid calls fellas from other FD's & PD's frequently ask about my setup and compliment how effective it is 🤷♂
I hope you got permission from the fire chief to use these ONLY in response to an incident that’s been paged. Otherwise………. You wont have this for long

That's perfect specially the ones on fender wells
Thanks!
Damn, even tinted the well lights are still bright AF

Thats some impressive lighting
Thank you!
@@treycamardelle did you do the wiring yourself?? It is very professional
Thanks! Yes I did. I’ve been installing lights for a few years now

Oh wow that’s crazy how rules vary so much from state to state
How did you install behind the grille? I work construction and I want to be seen on site but no obvious lights when I’m not
I had to take the grill apart and build some brackets to mount the lights to

What are some of your favorite features in this truck
The engine, the fuel mileage, how it drives, and how it looks
Very nice setup! Could you please write everything in the description too?
Thanks! I changed some lights out. I have an updated video on my channel if you’d like to check that one out. 👍
@@treycamardelle I dont see an updated video, this is the latest one that was uploaded...

Had you drove out of state lately and nice truck and what type of tires does this truck have
Yes I drive to Mississippi often. Thanks! I use the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 LT275/65 R20 tires.
Had you drove out of state lately and how many miles on your truck
Yes. 135,000
What type of transmission does your truck have and how much you fuel your truck
@@DanJ-r1d I’m not too sure on the specifics of the transmission. I believe it’s a 25 gallon fuel tank.
How long you had this truck and do you have any problems with this truck
Since 2018 and not problems worth mentioning
Why do some states don't need plates in front of vehicles and what year is your truck
I don’t know why some states don’t require it. It’s a 2015.
Great set up man. What is the interior bar
Thanks! It’s the whelen inner edge
What did you use to stick the lights on the inside windshield?
I have a visor light video you can go check out, that’ll go more in depth. But I have a mount and some double sided tape.
What type of basic warranty and does this truck have 4 wheel abs
100,000 mile warranty
I might of missed it. I see the buttons, but what is your controller setup?
The siren box is in the middle console arm rest. I just tapped into the MAN and AIR HORN buttons on the siren box and added new momentary switches on my dash so I don’t have to keep raising and lowering my arm rest to control the siren. And the light switches are on the side of my center console by my leg.
How did you mount the light in the rear window?
I took out the clothes hanger hooks and bent some flat bar to make the bracket, then I screwed the bracket into the spot that the clothes hangers went in.
Do you use this truck for daily driver and do you have Sirius radio
Yes I use it as a daily driver. No I don’t have Sirius radio
Do you still have this truck and what type of max towing
Yes I still have this truck. I think the max towing rating for this truck with the ecodiesel engine is around 13,000 pounds.

Look into your state laws. I believe in almost every state of flashing emergency lights are 2 different colors the red has to be on the drivers side
