Here in Florida its illegal to have blue lights installed unless you are in law enforcement. Is that not true for other states?

Weed, it wasn't too bad. The hardest part was that some of the supplied wires were too short to reach so new sections had to be spliced it. Or the connectors were too big to easily fit through the firewall or back of my cab so they had to be cut off, wires fed through, and then reconnected on. There was alot of cutting wires and reconnecting. All in all there is just a little bit of tidying up to do under the hood with wire loom. Just dont look under my drivers seat. Rats nest of wires and control boxes.

Titanguy, in Ontario blue lights are reserved for snowplows so I'm required by law to have the blue light (our law enforcement are blue and red together).

I don't have a picture right now. I'll snap on tomorrow (it's -30*C here and don't want to go outside). All I did was velcro the switch boxes that are supplied with the lights to the floor of my truck. Directly down in front of the center console.

This video shows near the end how they are mounted. At the time of video I only had the Raptor Mini installed so there is only one switch box.

What I'm going to end up doing is mounting a switch panel in my dash somewhere (hoping the Wired HDH switch panel goes on sale sometime soon as it's an awesome switch panel) to have a master on/off switch. One switch to power them up and then use their individual switches to select which lights actually come on and change the patterns.

Im thoroughly impressed with the lighting system. Everything feels like quality stuff, super bright, and the bulbs have more than a lifetime of rated hours to them. Company was great to deal with too. Same day or next day shipping and great prices.
