Default Strobe lights - Install location?

Hey guys, sorry its been a long time since I've been on...but Im back for some help/advice from yall. Im currently a career firefighter in the City I live in...I recently started volunteering at another department because I live close by it...I have a nice LED light set-up in the front...but I have nothing in the back...My question for you guys is - I have purchased a strobe kit, Im planning on putting strobes in the reverse lights in the back and strobes in the headlights and fogs...but I don't know where to mount the power supply and how to get the wires outside of the truck...once im outside I can do everything else, I just need some input on where to mount the power supply and how to get the wires from inside the cab to the outside...

Thanks guys, I know yall wont let me down...just dont make me go spend more money, yall have done enough of that lol

PS - I still have the 2007 Ram 1500 SLT quadcab...

there should be a hole beside the brake (where the clutch pedal would be) that has 2 bolts in it, I pooped that out and put a grommet in
how big is the power supply? pictures!!!!

you can also get out at the back under the storage bins beneath the carpet there should be a plug

I too am a fire firefighter and as much as I love strobes I went with the LED hide-a-ways. That way only two wires had to be run through the hole where the clutch pedal would be. Also I mounted the front lights on the intercooler bracket, I was afraid to drill into the headlights. I didn't know where to drill them and get the best optics from the LED.

I have a clutch in my 1500 and yet I still have that hole yall are talking about without the clutch push rod going through it lol... Weird

post a video when you're done! I am working on my first responder for now as I am in school and when I get out I'll be full time military, but in the mean time I like to help and want to deck my truck out when I get my EMS license
