Your Red and Blue are Backwards Red should be on the drivers side.

I am putting 4 strobes, 2 in each offroad light. So there will be a RED and BLUE in both..

Just some thoughts....

I would also add some in your marker lights in the front. As well as you could get a wig wag for your tail lights and add strobes in the tail lights them selves. Also, I forget what company makes this but there is a newer very compact amber traffic control unit thats all led's and only about 1in x 1 in x 24-36 in. Perfect for a back window. Also, you could always do a simple winshield mount one by the mirror. I have found that the more lights and identification the better, people often dont spot hidden lights as fast as a traditional roof light bar. Or atleast its that way in CA.

One question though...Are you allowed to have blue lights? In ca you can only have blue if your armed.

Yes we can have Red / Blue lights in Texas, and I am going to add some Random headlight flashers red blue strobes in my taillights and 4 LED Chrome LED lights on my Bumper

I didn't know Blue mean't armed I know CA law still has the thorw back that you have to have a solid red non flashing forward. Thats why CHP has the red sealed beam in the drivers hand spotlight.

go old school and put a couple of those "adam 12" tin cans on the roof!

I just ordered $1000 worth of stuff. I can't wait untill I get the stuff.... I had to get a small Siren speaker 3in deep because my other didn't fit..

Red is emergency, blue is armed, amber means caution. Thats why fire trucks and ambulences only have red/amber lights. Or atleast its that way out here.
