Alarm Light installation

I have had several people ask me where I installed my alarm light to maximize it's effectiveness. In this image, I installed the flashing light where the red dot is. By placing it here, it's highly visible to anybody standing outside the Excursion contemplating breaking the glass or cracking the door handle to break in.

Most amatuer criminals will move along rather than risk getting caught when an alarm goes off.

Hope this helps.

I wired mine to the radio wires today so it wouldn't cut on till I opened the door when everything turns off.
