2000 Ford Taurus--Install questions

Post by scd5606 »

So I am finally deciding to add some emergency response lights to my Taurus, fairly new to all this so I though getting the consensus of the board would be a good idea. I have narrowed my choices down to 2 packages; let me know what you guys think, any advice is appreciated. Changing the color of the lights isn’t that important, however both daytime and evening visibility is highly essential.

I plan to mount whatever dash/deck light to my headliner, above the rear view mirror, or passanger seat.

Option #1:

Whelen csp690 w/ 4 clear corner strobes and a remote dashmiser, color g/g

Option #2:

Whelen csp660 w/ 4 clear corner strobes and a LED dual Talon, color g/g

stick to the talon, smaller, lighter, easier to mount. Also lower amp draw, more flashpatterns and hands-down, brighter day or night.

Don't buy a CSP660.... buy a CSP690... we've talked about this before :)

My oppinion: if your know your never going to change your lighting color and don't mind spending the money again if you do - buy LED.

If your going to or possibly going to have a different color, strobe.

Other than that, the better LED technology all the way.
