Here’s a couple pics of the lights, the side lights are mounted a lil higher then the old bar it was actually pre-drilled for the lights just had to enlarge the holes to bolt them in cause I used a nut/bolts vs. screws, then I mounted the LED pods a lil lower then they were before so more light gets on the road.

The next thing I’m thinking I’m going to do is a Marauder spoiler.

I was thinking of getting one too. Still undecided tho. Today I rearended someone. They were stopped in front of me and I hit the brakes, but my damn boot caught the gas pedal--besides the brake pedal. No damage to them, but I took a small chunk out of the corner of the front bumper. Not terrible, but it annoys the hell out of me.

Oh damn sorry to hear that glad it wasn’t any worse then that, and you should do the spoiler it’s a good look.

I had a Grand Marquis that I did that with twice. I've not done it on any of my other vehicles in decades.

Finished up looming the wires for the kill switch for the lights, just need to finish up the mount for the switch and get it mounted.

Finished up the mount for the under hood switch had to enlarge the hole with a step bit just need to sand/paint and mount it now.

 

[95escahoe]

Painted the switch mount and mounted it today so the kill switch is finally done.

Here’s a pic from the other night kinda liked how the car looked under the lights.

 

[95escahoe]

The door hinges and reverse light panel are all painted and ready to go on so dropping it off Monday to get the hinges done, the reverse light panel I need to throw on myself next week need to drill the strobe holes and holes for the plate lights.

 

[95escahoe]

Bodyshop is done with the door hinges it ended up just being a bad lower one the upper is still fine so I have that one incase I ever need to do it, trunk panel came out mint just need to drill the holes for the lights hopefully throw it on over the next few days. Dropped off the Marauder spoiler there gonna paint it they just don’t want to install it cause it’s kinda tricky you need to drill 4 holes through the trunk lid then on the inside you need to drill holes in this inner panel to access the mounting holes, gonna give it a go if I run into issues they will do it they just didn’t want to get involved in it if they didn’t have to.

Installed the reverse light panel this past Saturday which I didn’t get any pics of because was kinda in a time crunch with the early darkness but it went pretty good, and added a Whelen tail light flasher so now the tails and reverse lights flash, didn’t like how they flashed with the stock bulbs so going to throw LED’s in those lights along with the front lights.

 

[95escahoe]

Finished swapping out the exterior bulbs to LED looks so much cleaner, I’ll get some nighttime pics tonight.

 

[95escahoe]

Here’s a link to a video of the tail light flasher on YouTube

 

[95escahoe]

Last night I noticed the passenger side tail light the bulbs weren’t staying on, they would either be on or very dim as you can tell in this pic, so pulled the tail light and noticed the bulbs moved around a lil bit in the sockets so bent the contacts so they would hold the bulb better and they worked fine, pulled the other side to check and those sockets were fine.

I’ve been trying to buy this console for months from someone I know he didn’t want to let it go because it’s super rare but finally agreed on a price and snagged it so I can finally properly mount the siren and light switches, it goes in place of the cup holder.

Then I picked up a NOS light bar got a pretty good deal on it for Black Friday, the rear is an amber traffic advisor should be pretty sweet once it’s all setup. It’s not a Whelen it’s a Code 3 2100 series full LED I wanted a Whelen but couldn’t touch one for the price of this one.
