Dick,
Welcome aboard!
LED's are the only way to go! They cost more initially, but will cost less in the long run. You should never have to "re-lamp" an LED.
For my 2005, I have a Whelen Talon 2 in the back window. I also have a pair of Whelen TIR 3's and TIR 6's in the back window. All are mounted on a piece of aluminum suspended from the headliner. I have the privacy glass in my truck, so when the LED's are off, nothing is visible from the outside of the truck.
I also have a pair of Whelen 400 and 500 series LED mounted in custom brackets on top of my tool box. The 400 series are auxilliry stop/tail/turn lights amd are tied into my brake light flasher. The 500 series flash independently when powered.
For the front of my truck, I strobed out the headlight and marker lights. All clear strobe tubes. I use a Whelen power supply and it's got variable patterns, so when the strobes are on, it's very eye catching.
I also have a pair of 500 series LED's in the grill, and a Whelen quad Dominator mounted to the push bar. This little lightbar is extremely bright!
And for noise, I have a Whelen 200 watt siren with two Whelen speakers mounted in front of the front tires.
Did I write that I'm a HUGE fan of Whelen products?
Their customer service is 2nd to NONE! And they are very generous to local fire departments near where I live and work.
eBay occasionally has Whelen products for OK prices, but I've found the best prices on
www.sirennet.com
Hope this helps.
Marc
