How To Whelen Vertex Rear Facing Ambers

[Rookie]

I gotta ask, why the cab and not above the tail lights or in the tail gate?

To me highest spot isn't always best, but I don't deal with the same conditions as you might

I originally was going to put them above the tail lights. I decided against it for a few reasons. One, that is a lot more wiring and installation. Two, I wanted these as high as possible on the vehicle. From my experience dust and snow is the most dense at the lower levels because that is where the vehicle is kicking it up. There isn't as much for the light to have to cut through the further up you go meaning that you are more likely to be seen and at further distances.

Lmao. Thank you for reminding me.


Added some night shots to the OP.

So did you take fair of that or is it going to short out at some point?

It shouldn't short out. I'm not sure what metal tube on the brake light that you're referring to. There is some plastic wire loom on it.

That could be that it's plastic.

It's just I have farm machinery that if you don't protect wires hoses they wear holes going threw spots like that.

The wiring for the lights is pretty thick and there's no tension or pressure on the wire so it should be alright.

I got mine off eBay for killer deal. A couple other members have purchased them through jimmy at wsi though.

hopefully and more than likely it will be fine but that would be the first place to look. All it would take is some tape around the hole. Maybe it is smooth and all will be fine I probably shouldn't have even said anything. This is an awesome mod...

Lol. Def a good point. Nothing wrong with taking precautions.
