Easy to install and bright! multi flash patterns are great to choose from. use rain silicone to seal and search you tube video for install, it will help you a lot if you never done this before. Review: Sturdy and great product! - They say you get what you pay for and in this case... Well worth it! Though I would expect nothing less from a namebrand like Whelen. Replaced Red vortex lights in a former tribal patrol vehicle (converting it over to a patrol vehicle for a security company) and absolutely love Whelen lights. Would highly recommend this product and brand! ## Features - ULTRA-BRIGHT WARNING SIGNAL - Features 6 Gen3 Super-LEDs with advanced lens technology for optimal light dispersion and intensity at critical angles, providing superior visibility in emergencies with blue illumination. - SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION - The self-contained unit features an in-line lamp driver/flasher, requiring no separate components for installation.
