The Weather Spotting Mustang

(Nite View)
Here is my car, which I've equiped to do weather spotting.
It's a 2004 Ford Mustang GT, Dark Shaddow Grey.
I spent alot of time trying to make sure that everything I added had a good function, but was still very low profile. I like the idea that most people never notice that the car is capable of all that it is.

Here is a Quicktime Video of some of the lights at night. (1.5MB)


Here you can see my Code3 Headlight Multi-flasher, my Whelen Talon dashlight, and my little amber wig-wag's under the bumper.


This is the kind of light I've got up front when I turn all my front white lights on. I run Sylvania SilverStar headlights, factory fog lights, and four 55watt halogen driving lights in the front grill. The driving lights are also activated with my high beams, just so I get that extra bright look.


Here you can see my dual 55watt focused H3 rear deck wig-wag's, my tail-light flashers, and the reflective inserts on my bumper


Now you can also see my dual head white strobe on the rear deck. It's capable of 700 Flashes per Minute. I bought it amber, but from a distance it just looked like a glimmer between those 55watt focused beams. I went with focused beams as the whole point of these lights are to be seen in adverse weather conditions, as you would see while weather spotting, so the white strobes compliment that quite well.


One problem with using rear-deck lights, and even roof lights, is whenever the trunk is open, you can't see them. So, rather than put more flashing lights inside the trunk, I picked up three foot of two inch wide DOT reflective tape. After I cut it down to size and applied it to the car, it has a great effect.

One time my wife and I were at a gas station, and nearly got our door ripped off by some guy that tried to come screaming into the space next to us. My wife was opening her door, and he had a major break check when he saw that tape.

Sometimes your vehicle warning doesn't have to be high tech, just effective.


This side view shows off my gear on the dash, as well as my white neon underbody lights. Whenever I stop to assist, I get all sorts of looks as people drive by. But, if they are busy looking at the car to figure out what it is, they are slowing down, and are alot less likely to hit me. That's the real test, isn't it?
