Adding Emergency Lights to Truck
Not sure if any of my fellow f-150 owners are fire fighters or not. Has any of you added lights bars to your trucks was thinking of running power from light in through the third brake light ( bed light) or does anyone else have a better idea??? hate to mess truck up with
holes or have wires running down over back of cab.

How about you get a STK Pro-Rack and then get the Light Bar Mount and you will be fine. The Pro Rack is no Drill install ( in most cases ).
So now you wont have to drill your roof, and your truck will also look better. I know this light bar is from the 1930's but you get the point. I have yet to see a low pro clear LED bar on one of these but i think it would look really good.
or maybe something like this
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks

What style of light bar do you plan on putting up there? R U going to be running alley or take down lights? If you get a mini LED bar (magnet mount) with no alley or take down lights you could run the small power cord through the 3rd brake light and wire it with a switch. How do you have the rest of your lights and sirens wired up?

There have been to many postings of the 3rd light leaking. I would not want to run it through there for fear of a leak. I know that you can try to seal it up but there is still a risk. I ran the wire down the rear of my cab on my last 150. I have also seen guys run it forwards and down the windshield trim. This may work for you. Just a quick idea.
