I found a 6 head, 90W strobe kit from STAR-SVP for $150

there ya go!

 

What's that warranty service like Alex? That is the one and only thing that convinced me to spend the money on the Whelen and we have a dealer here in town if I need help or parts. You just are not going to get that service from the sellers of the cheap China strobes. I know that Star is on the east coast and so is Whelen but I am not that familiar with Star.

 

The guy on Craigslist is smoking crack. You can get a 6 head 90 watt kit with 6 bulbs from a dealer for $248.

Also, don't forget that you can now get LED hide aways as well.

Nothing will ever touch my truck in this department other than Whelen. I like knowing where my stuff comes from. Everything in my truck now from lights to siren is Whelen, and IMO you can't beat it.

 

Thanks for the input guys
And yes GTRider245 I looked at the laws in Ga.
Do the whelen hide away kits come with the power cable also? (The cable that runs from the battery to the power supply) I never see them in the pictures they advertise with.

Also, I saw a video where instead of running the wires through the firewall, he drilled a hole next the to power supply in the bottom of the cab and ran the wires in a wire loom that way. That to me looked like it was easier and better.

 

It comes with a pig tail that you have to hook your own power wires and switches up to. And you have to run the cables going the light head os you are going to have to drill holes or find gromets to use to run your wires through. The power supply has to be mounted in a dry place with good ventilation to keep it cool because they get very hot. You can also pick up a switch box pretty cheap with five switches and one of them is relayed at 30 amps and the rest are 20 amp and that will take some of the headache of the install away.

Here is the install I did on my Super Duty.

 

Another option you might consider is a mini bar. I know you wanted to go with hideways, but they're kind of limited as far as 360 degree visibility. The setup Dave shared with you for his Whelen bar is a bit more involved since he's got some options as to what he's lighting up. A mini bar can give you 360 degree visibility, tons of light - and low cost.

I love Whelen stuff, but it's a bit on the pricey side. (It's arguably the highest quality though.) I tend to use Star products since one of their factories is 30 minutes from my house. We use Star (strobe) mini bars on all of our plowing equipment and have probably 20 of them. Low maintenance, low (aperage draw) and very cost effective. Personally, I don't think one can beat a Star Halogen mini bar for bang for the buck. If you're interested, I can post some pics.

 

That is a nice clean install! A guy can always appreciate when some one takes the time to do it right. BUT I hope you vacuumed the truck when you finished! lol.

 

Thanks, yeah that was part of the project.
