Strobe lights on mirrors and grille

I have West Coast mirrors on my Freightliner FLD. I mounted a Whelen light on the left, and a forklift strobe light on the right. (for now, I am deciding whether to replace it with a Whelen also). I power them from mirror heat.

The Whelen light is great as it directs light in horizontal plane and does not blind the person sitting in the cab underneath.

 

Buy Whelen if you can....

 

I have strobes on the mirrors on my 389, I wish I would have mounted a light bar on top. Running when its slightly dark out blindes me. I actually put tape on the side facing me. Just a thought. They do look cool tho.

 

When I mounted my both strobes on mirrors, I made sure that both are out of my line of sight. Maybe you can move them a bit higher and a bit closer to the truck. Tall loads obscure top of cab lights.

 

I had a strobe out on my mirror bracket using an antenna mount with a pipe nipple attached to raise the light up out of my sight

 

Does those strobes mounted on your mirrors not mess with your cb, or is your antenea mounted somewhere else?

 

It does not mess with my CB radio

 

Some strobes do mess with mine, even some on trucks that I meet. My hid off road lights will mess with it too. Maybe I should post on the cb forum, and see if there is a work around on this.

 

I do have a CB radio but I do not use it that much. I tried looking for any live channels and could not find anything. The only place I use the CB every time is the scrap yard that I frequent, I talk to the scale guys on CB. I did not notice strobes interfering.
