Traffic control lighting/police lights options/opinions?

[JackMcD]

So my 14 ExSport will be equipped with flashing lights/strobe lights/police lights etc. (whatever you want to call them, but I'm sure everyone knows what I mean) both front and rear, potentially from the sides too.

The vehicle will be being used as an escort vehicle for stopping traffic so the lighting will have to be police/fire/emt level in quality and brightness (basically I'm looking for police/ambulance/firetruck level performance BUT instead of in red and blue, I need clear and purple)

I'm willing to go with a pushbar/bullbar on the front if needed and/or something similar for the rear. I'm also open to the lighting going into the existing headlights and taillights. Overall, I'm ok with more or less anything as long as it doesn't make the truck perform any different.

I searched but couldn't quite find what I was looking for, thanks for any info someone out there may have.

These things will fit stock explorer too.....If you were closer I could help you as far as purchasing and installing if needed.

I think you will have problems finding purple for most lighting types.

True. The purple lighting options are limited.

Try North American Signal in Whelen Ill. They have high quality lights used by the postal service, Loral and other defense contractors.

There are many options available today for what you're looking for. Purple isn't widely used, as it is mainly used for funeral vehicles. There are many sites you can look at, and I can name a few that I would recommend that are less expensive, but still great quality.

These are just a few options to look at that won't break the bank. Something to think about as well is how you plan on switching the lights you plan to install. You can put a simple and discrete rocker switch, or you could look into remote mount controls. You can pick up a remote, or undercover, style control for around 100 bucks up to 4-500 bucks depending on the options.

I've done many installs on different vehicles using a variety of equipment, so feel free to ask questions. Hope this helps.
