installed strobes into the grill of my truck

[300 quadrunner]

finally did it, and man it looks sick, from a distance (at night) i could play off as FWC,

[Young Gun]

Lol be careful when you use those things, your screwed if an actual cop catches you using them on the streets.  If I am still able to get a truck I wanted to get the PA system from hornblasters and a siren off eBay.  'Beeyoop Beeyoop'...*PA: Hey lady.. show me them boobies!*

Any pics or videos?

[K-Town Quad Boy 08]

Why would anyone put strobes on a vehicle? It's like the whole neon craze of the late 1980's early 1990's. 

[300 quadrunner]

rebel yea dude, i want to get my train horn from hornblasers, but i rarely use the lights on the road (sometimes to ppl in the left lane of 595 doin the speed limit, and trust me they move over) but from a distance i can pass for FWC hehe

anoriginal.... it looks cool, ever seen FWC at night all lit up, its looks bad ass!!!! sorry ui cant enjoy the same outlook on the majoirty of truck owners, who doesnt like a sh*t load of lights in their truck, hell i am getting ready to install red mood lights in the cab of my truck and rigging tractor lights in my bed of my truck (since rangers dont have cargo lights) and 2 AUX reverse lights for backing down the boat, but who knos mayb i am the only one who enjoys it

[Anoriginal]

Man if you like it, then more power to you!   

[300 quadrunner]

yes sir, i got a 2wd, so mudding is a little harder, so customize it with lights, lmao 

[jrpro130]

Personally, in my profession, and knowing what I know, I would NEVER put lights on my truck, besides for white.

I am putting red/white on my 4 wheeler, just beacuse I'm in fire/rescue..it's kinda like a club thing I guess.  But I can't run them on my truck, if I got caught theres a good chance I would never ever get hired by anyone.  You can get a felony for impersonation, etc.  I can't even risk it.

Although I will say it looks very badass, more power to you, but I can't risk it.  There will be red/white on my 4 wheeler in a few weeks though, I'm going sho-me I think...

[Young Gun]

Anoriginal, Strobes are badass on trucks nowadays, everyone is doing it.

You actually use them in traffic? lmao -- I would never do that.  Impersonating a police officer is a baddd ideaaaaa

[trey82]

I don't see the point in getting strobes unless you wanted to impersonate a LEO.

[#32YammiMan]

'Beeyoop Beeyoop'...*PA: Hey lady.. show me them boobies!*

haha that would be funny

[300 quadrunner]

i used them a few times in traffic, but just for showing off, they arent permanent, just on ther for now,

those young whippersnappers ;-)

I wanted to do that to my Dodge Stratus at one point, and to my truck eventually, but I just can't justify the cost.

lol I would only use them at night if I were him.  At day people can read your plate easy as hell, at night you just pass them and shut your lights of until your about 15-20car lengths in between them.

I was going to put strobes in my headlights, taillights, and blue strobes behind the grille on the SST.  But I sold it, I regret doing that

[300 quadrunner]

its just 4 lights inside the grill but i am goin in between jobs right now so i cant go blow money (truck payment and insurance.. etc) but when i do, i cam getting a cb put in it, then a train horn, then REAL strobes, not the ones i got in there,  by the way i pulled my dad over tonight, lmao

[jrpro130]

x2

I would use yellow/white just for "show" but my truck is not that kind of truck at all.  It would help sometimes when you are pulled off to the side of the road w/ a trailer or something, but definetly not necessary.

I think blue/red is pretty illigal...

[logandzwon]

My buddy used to have strobes on his truck.  He did concrete testing and was often at construction sites.  He said they were so his truck didn't get hit.

As far as legality, on the street you can't any blue lights on your car at all, and you can't have any red that is visible from the front.

Also, obviously using any lights in a way that most people would assume you to be a cop is also illegal.

300 quadrunner,

I hope you understand this is a public forum. You basically documented the fact that you commited a felony by activating your strobes on a public roadway and caused traffic to alter direction. I suggest you remove the strobes before your stopped. I also forwarded this to BSO and Metro-Dade so they can follow up on any complaints. Your vehicle is described on your posts, along with others thinking of doing the same thing. I suggest spending the money on your quad, not illegal lighting. Please review the below. I'm telling you this so everyone can prevent any jail time and the forfeiture of their vehicle if caught. Some laws that get fractured aren't really a big deal, but this one is.......





316.2397  Certain lights prohibited; exceptions.--

(1)  No person shall drive or move or cause to be moved any vehicle or equipment upon any highway within this state with any lamp or device thereon showing or displaying a red or blue light visible from directly in front thereof except for certain vehicles hereinafter provided.

(2)  It is unlawful for a person to use in or on any nongovernmentally owned vehicle or vessel any flashing or rotating blue light unless such person is a law enforcement officer employed by a federal, state, county, or city law enforcement agency or is a person appointed by the Governor pursuant to chapter 354.

(3)  The provisions of this section shall not apply to salespersons, service representatives, or other employees of businesses licensed to sell or repair law enforcement equipment.

(4)  For the purposes of this section, the term "flashing or rotating blue light" includes all forms of lights which display a blue light source or which were designed with the intent of displaying a blue light source whether or not such light is actually in use.

(5)  Any person who violates any of the provisions of this section commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.



843.08  Falsely personating officer, etc.--A person who falsely assumes or pretends to be a sheriff, officer of the Florida Highway Patrol, officer of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, officer of the Department of Environmental Protection, officer of the Department of Transportation, officer of the Department of Financial Services, officer of the Department of Corrections, correctional probation officer, deputy sheriff, state attorney or assistant state attorney, statewide prosecutor or assistant statewide prosecutor, state attorney investigator, coroner, police officer, lottery special agent or lottery investigator, beverage enforcement agent, or watchman, or any member of the Parole Commission and any administrative aide or supervisor employed by the commission, or any personnel or representative of the Department of Law Enforcement, or a federal law enforcement officer as defined in s. 901.1505, and takes upon himself or herself to act as such, or to require any other person to aid or assist him or her in a matter pertaining to the duty of any such officer, commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084; however, a person who falsely personates any such officer during the course of the commission of a felony commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084; except that if the commission of the felony results in the death or personal injury of another human being, the person commits a felony of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

Don't you have enough fun hassling people in REAL life.  Now your taking it to the internet forums? 

[K-Town Quad Boy 08]

I agree with REBEl
that is pretty sorry when some people cant even have fun
there is always some one who tries to spoil it.
why bother with it if it doesnt concern u?

[PBSO_ATV_Deputy_4]

Rebel,
Seems my job never ends......If my post prevents someone from this sport from getting charged with a felony and the loss of their vehicle, it's worth your comment.

[trey82]

 This BS wouldn't hold up in court. There is no documented evidence of a SPECIFIC INSTANCE where he broke any law.

[k.p.]

i suppose that i'll play the devils advocate and support mr.po-9,

he has a point...hes actually doing you a favor bro. it might look raw to have those lights,but you could get seriously f-ed if you have them activated if a cop sees you...so hes bein nice by warning you, albeit he did alert you to other cops....

btw, does anyone know why  marine patrol police are such buttholes?

[K-Town Quad Boy 08]

not all of them are
the other day we got stopped and we had a cooler full of adult beverages
he made us give them to him and he let us go. we could of got into some serious truouble
