In where? I'm still considering it. And as of right now, most people are against the idea.
You thought I forgot about this mod didn't you?
I scoured some sheet metal
Then bent it into a box.
It forms to the lightbar
I cut a hole in the top of the case for the wiring.
Then fed in the wires.
And placed the box on top for show.
The box is now in the paint booth.
I made an adapter for the lightbar, but I really need to wire it into a switch and have it mounted to the back.
The lightbar "red" is just plain old ugly so it's in repaint...
Here's the reason the lightbar is being repainted.

But the bigger problem is that I've repainted it again and it still looks like crap. The actual color under the red is orange. I thought a light coat of red would make the orange side look good, but no matter what I do it doesn't improve. Suggestions?
The lightbar is vaccuum sealed. I'd have to pry it open then change out the LED's. I'm afraid of breaking it.
Big decision! Thank you Larrs27 from TwistedForums! I'm getting rid of the box I made and then I'm cutting the top of the case here:
Then setting the lightbar into the case (like a real cop car (duh?!))
I thought the same thing on how the light should be mounted. I still think the light needs some finishing work though. Some black between the red and the blue and maybe some black around the bottom of the lens, a bit like this crappy MS Paint work:
I'm gonna have a thin piece of aluminum between the two colors.
As I said, I'm gonna mount the lightbar within the top of the case. Here's the 1st cut
I had to cut through the drive cage too.
That was some pretty thick steel.
And here it is. More coming.
I removed the cover from the lightbar
And here's the situation inside.
All the black stuff around the bulbs is silicon. I think it would do a lot of damage to remove the amber bulbs and replace them with red ones. I will, however, try with one of the corner bulbs to see exactly what I could be getting into.
