I had no idea that so much work was put into outfitting our vehicles (not your company, I work in a different location in the country). I always assumed that a "Police Interceptor" from Ford came with almost everything done. I didn't know that a company had to do such intense, hardcore work like stripping the car down to basically a shell and then custom installing everything. I am truly surprised by this. I will definitely appreciate our vehicles much more now. A big thank you to those who do this work---we put these vehicles through hell, and I have never had anything fail except roughly 20 or so years ago when the Vector light bars came out and the dumb decision was made to connect them to the user-unfriendly GE control box (combo PD radio and lights/siren control head). Those individual "pods" would turn themselves on all the time. It was especially bad when working patrol graveyard shift, and as we would be slowly driving "blacked out" through a neighborhood, out of nowhere one of the pods would turn itself on and rotate slowly one "click" at a time. Even if we powered off the GE control head, it would keep doing it. Naturally, we'd have to "down" the vehicle and leave it in the underground garage sitting there with one of the pods it up, slowly clicking it's way around and around. They were chronic in doing this! I was so glad when we switched to the low-profile clear/LED light bar. So much nicer!

Do you know how or where to connect the rear hatch LEDs so they only come on when the hatch is open on a 2017 ? the upfitters guide mentions a rear flasher relay but I don't think I have that option.

Thanks, and good looking work you guys are doing!

Without the relay, we would suggest tying the lighting into the trigger that activates the OEM dome/cargo lights. Open the hatch, the dome light goes on and so do the warning lights. Close the hatch, the trigger shuts off as well as the warning lights.

BlazedGun That is correct, but the projector bulb as mentioned is not designed to be turned on/off (or faded as is typical wig-wag fashion). Mostly because they are designed to warm up and then turn on. As a solution, Ford offers the "Ready for the Road" package, as an upfit for the Interceptor model(s). This replaces the stock turn-signal with a dual functioning LED that flashes white for emergency use, but is also illuminated orange for turn signals, parking lights, etc. It also includes a Vertex LED in the outer edge of the headlight housing for intersection lighting. It is also worth noting that there has been a third party module created to flash the headlights, but many PDs have reverted back as a result of excessive blown bulbs.
