Default Emergency lighting

Maybe you guys can help me with this, I'm a volunteer fireman and will start using my Ram to go directly to calls. I will be getting my truck certified through the state as an emergency vehicle(meaning I can blow traffic lights etc..etc in an emergency) they actually give you stickers to certify you can do this, cool huh. But anyhow, I am looking for a light setup and wondered If anyone knows any websites or such that has good setups.

Not really looking for a lightbar, something in grill and back wondows, just throw me some idea's.

Gall's is your best bet for all your needs if ya need it now.
You might be able to get a deal through one of the vendors that your company uses, couple of our guys have done that.

ah sweet another wacker like me LOL. LEDs are sweet but I'm a good old strobe type of guy. Gall's has some nice stuff you can also check on strobes and more's website thats where I got my setup for the mustang. They had some good deals when i bought them a few years ago

We ain't suppose to go through lights or anything like that our laws say a blue light is only a courtesy light and your suppose to follow all traffic laws. Not that i follow any even when my lights are off LOL

i use galls for all my firefighting needs... did you make cheif or something ... allowing you to respond directyl to the scene? where im at we report to the house to man the trucks unless your a chief..

anyway

my old truck i had a set of blue (thats what color we use unless your a cheif. you use red) strobes in each light housing .. all 4 corners... i also had a dahs laser (rotating dash light..kinda bulky but bright as hell) i like light bars but onnly if you need them...i dont need one so i like to keep the emergency lighting low profile so it doesnt stick out like a sore thumb
