GMC Denali Install

Post by hawkspringsfire »

I have been asked by my local PD to do antother install for them. They are getting a new DARE/SRO vehicle. It's going to be a GMC Denali, don't know the year yet.
Here is what I was thinking about for the lighting package:

Front: Whelen SlimLighter Red/Blue above the RVM, 2 TIR3 Red/Blue in the grille, and either strobes of HLF.
Rear: 2 LIN6 Red/Blue and strobes.

What do you think? Also has anyone ever worked on one? Any suggestions or comments would be appericated.

Ditch the strobes, and just go all LED on the vehicle. Vertex / LAW / or HALOs in the unit..

I agree with Phish. HAW strobes are on their way out. The LED products are brighter, offer more flash patterns, and don't require all the high-voltage wiring of strobes, plus near-zero maintenance. LEDs all the way.

+1 on the LED hideaways, to add to tvsjr's list, less heat as well, so the optics and plastic housings of todays newer, tighter confined housings won't get damaged.
