Strobe lights
I'm not a big fan of "hideaway" style strobes because they're such a pain to install and you basically ruin every housing you install them in. (Makes it tough when you go to sell the truck.) The other problem I have with them is their limited visibility from the sides. For my truck I needed 360 degree warning visibility, so I went with a roof mounted light bar. But, if I were to install them the only way I'd go would be Whelen. Reasonably priced, reliable and bright.

The Hide Away strobes are not the only lights that I run on my truck when I use them but they grab peoples attention better than just my 16in amber light bar. I am going to upgrade to a larger strobe bar over the winter to grad a little more attention than the combo I have now. The bulbs are cheap enough I am going to leave them in my housings and buy new bulbs or upgrade to Whelens LED stobe bulbs.
Oviedo is the supplier...brand of lights were Whelen. Find me someone who sells a brand new 6 head 90 watt kit with 6 screw in bulbs for less than that and I will shake your hand.
In my personal opinion colored hideaways are useless, but if that is your heart's desire Sirennet has a strobe kit builder that lets you choose every component from power supply to bulb color.
