I have a few dashmasters i picked up cheap and am going to install them in my patrol car..
there are 2 plugs on the back, one has 3 holes for the power and then there is a 4 hole plug.. what in the world does that one do? does it sync them together if you have two or what?
PM's please...

I forget (its been a long time for those), but I think you could get pass-thru power. No sync feature. If you open it up, you should be able to see what connected. I am pretty sure it allowed remote mounting via "normal" means vs a cigar plug ran from the rear deck to the lighter outlet.
Best thing I ever saw was a trooper on my dept...in his state car he did two dashmaster... He left one side strobe, the other halogen, then halogen/strobe on the other one on the pass side. Day/night, the combo looked pretty sweet. Of course, that requires a remote power supply, but something to think about it.

everyone is going LED these days, but man i tell ya, halogen and strobes gets the job done pretty well if you ask me..
yeah, the are old and i would rather have 3 dash misers, but i got 3 dashmasters for like 80$ so i am not complaining and they look pretty good..
i just wish i could find filters for them and mounting brackets so i can mount them properly. And if that really is passthrough power that will be nice.
thanks

I came across some lenses that would fit them the other day. I think I have blue and red. Worse case, I think you can still order them from Whelen. Not sure on the pricing though. They may be NLA, but I was able to order new ones a couple of years ago when they were off the parts list.

I agree.. sometimes i wish i had a Streethawk light bar instead of my whelen edge... halogen really cuts through sunlight great..MK4412 wrote:Sportin the old skool Federal Fireball II rotator with mirror on my Expedition. It's slow, but it rocks!

Re: dash master
Dashmasters are superior in brightness to the dashmisers as far as self contained go.
The dashmaster's larger reflector also helps the appearance of brightness. My friend had two dual blue dashmaster strobes behind 15% tint in his back deck and they were plenty sufficient for warning power. Red however doesn't punch through as well.
Lenses for the "SoloStrobe" will fit the Dashmaster as will something similar of a different name. I have the GrilleMasters in my grille and they share the same lenses as the DashMaster.
