Does anyone have any suggestions for strobes on a 05' Chevy 3500 dump truck. I know how to get the roof strobe hooked up but I need some lights in the rear. The bed has a set of brake lights in it but they look to small to put hide aways in them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How about some self contained LEDs from Whelen. I have a set on the rear of my salt spreader, they have a low voltage draw and all you need is a switch and 12 volts and the work. I can't remember the tech name for them but they are like 2 inchs high and 3-4 long. I have had mine now for two winters and they work great. Not as bright as a 90 watt strobe head but they are good enough to catch your eye. The only other way I can think of id to buy a extra set of brake lights and gyt the insides and mount them on the rear some were.
I put some small LED's on the rear of the box and hideaways on all 4 corners. I sell all this stuff to at a discount to board members. Complete hideaway kit is only $189.99 + s&h.

Brian, Where did you mount the hidaways? The only place that looks feasible is in the reverse lights in rear, and in the DDL's in front. Any other suggestions, or does that sound correct?
Power supply is built in just apply 12volts and they go..... if you want you can sync both lights together... I leave my on random so they cycle through all the flash patterns.
I cut two holes and put in oval strobe heads. I tried the flat whelen oval led's, after two storms they were all corroded, water proof? not really!! The strobes have the duetch connectors and have not had any problems with water.
Very. Nice. BTW, the LED heads may be warranteed by the mfg. Also, if you want to, you can backfill the AMP connectors with silicone and make them nearly waterproof. And yes, I'll bring some cables, and more, to the mtg.
