    I've had good luck with Uniform Warehouse

    http://www.uniformswarehouse.com/vehicle-equipment.html?cat=346

    They have nice LED light bars and customer service is easy to deal with. I've had many style light bars through the years, form the old rotating ones to the newer LED ones. Even had the older ones that were actual strobes with the transformer inside instead of just flashing and have never had an amp or voltage draw problem. Most of them have a larger gauge fused wire (if no fuse install one) that you run directly to the battery or some other constant power source, and then a smaller one to run to your switch in the cab.

    Not yet. I haven't been home and have been running like a crazy person. I've found some low profile ones that I'm leaning towards. And my dad has me convinced i should put some in the grill

    We have the ones in the four corners of the grill along with a strobe on top and I find its much more noticeable for oncoming traffic. We load / unload primarily on city streets / construction zones, so it helps catches their attention a little better.

    Regarding Strobes/Lights for the tractor, has anyone found a 1 size fits all states/Canada light??

    Between, Canada (western provinces) wanting a more traditional rotating beacon, housing size needs to be a certain size, Oregon use to want I think 5 inches and larger. (Diameter of Strobe), Now they don't care, the unit just needs to be able to be seen from 1000 feet away, California wants a strobe that is Tilte 13 compliant and now I am hearing about the eastern portion of Canada wanting CSA/UL rated strobes, Is there a 1 size fits all. Also, what about light bars. Same question.
