For those of you that are in a department such as a volunteer fire department and use the Camry as your POV, I thought you may be interested in some photos of how I installed two lights and siren in my car.

I went for a basic look at a low cost (no $500+ lights), I have two mini phantoms and a mid-ranged siren and speaker. Now for the photos!

It's a bit hard to see the lights from the outside with the rain, but I prefer to have the "undercover" approach.

I have the wire on the rear light in between the headliner and the roof, and it follows down all the way to the power source, so it's completely hidden.

I was lucky enough to have already went through finding a hole for the siren when I installed my amp, so I was able to feed the new wires via the power cable from the amp. Not the absolute cleanest option, but I'm fine with it

And of course the antenna for my scanner:

Please fix that spaghetti wiring before you are called to your own vehicle fire.

Great...now I have to look out for Camrys too and not just Chargers and Crown Vics anymore.:lol: :lol: :lol:

It looks pretty clean.

The wires are a little spaghetti like in the engine bay, but hey you did a pretty good job none the less. I like the control panel for easy access too.

My father might be doing something simular in his truck. He works as a volunteer for fire and law enforcement. He used to be in law enforcement full time a while ago.

Ya the engine bay is a mess, but actually only two wires are for my entire light/siren system. The rest are from the fog lights and HID kit, all stuffed in that area. I'll do some zip tie work and make it look a bit better

Alright, heres the video



I didn't turn the siren on as it's extremely loud and didn't want to disturb all the neighbors, lol.

It looks great.

I'd really put those wires in a protective loom to prevent chaffing and shorts.

 

[EvoFire]

Cool... but the lights doesn't seem to be that bright and not very noticable during the day. You need more lights hahahaha

And is some one shoveling snow in the background?

 

[CharmCityES]

looks sweet!
is this highly visable to other motorists?

I know I really need to do something about them, luckily it doesn't get wet for the most part, but i'll look into something for those.

They are alright during the day, it gets me noticed but isn't all that bright. At night however it stands out a lot, which is why I rely on the siren as well to get people's attention. I'm most likely going to get some grille lights and/or strobe bulbs for the headlights and taillights.

And yes my dad is shoveling ice out of the garage, lol

Looks good. Do your sirens sound like this?

[Archosman]

Kind of funny/ironic (?) that it's a red car.

C'mon chickensh*t... post a video with the siren!

Ya it sounds just like that on one mode, but he switched between a few modes. Although mine is legal, unlike his

I'll post up a video in a second, lol.

 

[DrewsCam]

yea video, nice install though.

 

[ebumdude]

I think its cool.

 

[geoff5093]

Just so everyone knows, I didn't install these to make my car look better. They are required by the department and I didn't want a giant lightbar on my roof, so I went with a more discrete look. It was raining out after taking these photos, so I couldn't get a video, but i'll try to get one ASAP.

I knew there was at least one other member here that was a Vol. FF and asked for some pics, so hopefully this gave him a few ideas.

I don't think I'd pull over for that.:lol:

I work For the Maryland State Police I roll in a Charger with the red and blues I am a Undercover Traffic Enforcement Officer for them. I thought about putting some lights in my 07 Camry My Captain said I could so after seeing your video I said to myself why not. Not to bust your balls but if you came into Maryland and were driving around with those Lights on I would laugh my ass off ROFL.... Sorry Geoff5093 J/K:lol:

lol, I don't live in a large city, I know if I was in the middle of traffic that no one would even notice. However I live in a small town (Dunbarton), and I'd be lucky if I even see a car on the way to the station. So far i've only run into a situation once where theres been a car in front of me, and he pulled over. The cars on the other side of the road also pull over when they see me coming by as well (I also use my hazard lights which help a bit).

So as I said before, I know I could/should go larger, but because of the small town I live in theres really no need. Most of the guys in the department just have a single teardrop rotating light on the roof.
