How you doing and thanks for watching. This is George over here at Wicked Warnings.
We stole mom's minivan. Messed around with it a little bit. Actually, this is a brand
new 2021 Toyota Sienna hybrid minivan. It's actually for our friends over at the IIT
campus police. This particular one is used for some security duties as well as student transport. So
you might have saw a sister van we did earlier a couple years back with a full green light bar,
similar looking to this one. This is the replacement. We were going to do a light bar on
this one but we decided to try slick top edition. We may or may not add some upper windshield lights
but we're going to send it out to the field as is and see how it performs. Right in the front there,
we back-mounted our LED HAW DUO. That's a low dome in white. We back-mounted it in the grille.
We did this on a few other of this client's builds and they like it. Gives them a nice white
alternate flash in the front without messing with those factory headlights. Kind of looks a little
old-school police wig wag-ish. We synchronized it with the green LIN-6. Here in Chicago, green with
a touch of white is a security color. So this is a private security company. So they're running mostly
green and you can supplement that with a touch of white here or there. So that green LIN-6 and our
HAW DUO low dome in white and the front grille is synchronized up. It's a fairly easy location
if you happen to have a van like this you want to put some lights on yourself and we have all kinds
of color variations on both of those lights. So if you wanted purple or amber or blue or red, we got
it all. We did a little bit of side treatment on this van as well. What you can see there in front
of the side view mirror on that little triangle panel is a green-clear split LIN-6. That's the
very same light we used on the front bumper but in a split color green-clear. We set that one to
a slower alternation with kind of a longer hang time. As you can see, the light kind of hangs on.
The reason being is it's right there by the driver's door the passenger and the door where you're
going to be walking up to the vehicle and I just didn't want it to be too distracting and blinding.
They're going to be picking up a lot of kids with this van, so that light we slowed down a little bit.
Now behind it, we've got another set of LIN-6, a green full green and a full white. That's
alternating on a 75 FPM triple flash. One we got it set up on each side in the back far back windows.
That's just to add a little bit more rear side warning. It's not quite as bright as that front
one in front of the mirror because it is behind a factory tinted glass.
So that one we went with a little quicker 75 FPM alternation pattern because that
tinted glass dims it down a little bit and it's not so bright right in your face.
There's a little side shot for you. Then we can pan out a little bit, give you a little
broader view. I think we got some good side coverage both colors going on here.
Alright, let me pull it forward and show you what we did around the back.
Around the back, we got a couple of things going on. We got a TIR-3 pair in white. We've also got a LED HAW
DUO low dome in green inside the factory reverse and right above that, we've got our Wicked Stick
six head in green-white. Now this stick is sold green-white. You can use green or white
or a combination of green and white. We're just doing green and I'll drop it down. You can kind
of see now a little closer. Sorry, the white TIR-3s are definitely washing out the camera.
There a little bit off axis and get a little better look at what we were doing there.
Now those TIR-3's were customer walk-in. We took them off a different vehicle but our own TIR-3
would mount in the same spot with a 90-degree bracket and it would work just the same. We went with a
little bit faster alternation on the hideaways there in green because of course, any and all the
danger for this van picking up and dropping off a kid would probably be coming from behind. So
that's why we put the big stick in the back window and sped up the pattern on the rear a little bit.
There's a little close-up of that stick. You can kind of see a little bit better the color there.
What I'll do is I'll turn and drop you down,
show you the green right there in the reverse. Now that was not too bad of a lens to drill
right there in the reverse housing. You can come in from the bottom angle like that.
It's fairly easy and we've got that hideaway in all the colors, so not only green. Now because
this van is gonna be picking up kids and they're probably gonna have all kinds of backpacks and
etcetera that's gonna be thrown in and out of the back, we went ahead and mounted the light stick
in the rear window. This van isn't really doing security work where that hatch is going to be open
while it's working. So I felt no need to put that light stick inside. It's okay if it raises with
the van door because as I said, if the van doors up, they're really not going to be working here.
I'm going to take a guess that the majority of the time, those back seats are going to be up
and there's going to be all kinds of people in this thing. I'll show you a little bit how we mounted
it there just used an in-house bracket we made up. Got a little bit of meat right there in the
hatch area. Wired it all through the factory boot. We went through the boot on the right
hand side there. It was fairly easy and we were able to keep it all clean and discreet.
Here inside the van, you can see we utilized our LIN-6 brackets
and just went with the wire straight down. Put those lights right up against the glass there.
Here's a shot of that green-white LIN-6 right on that front mirror panel. Fairly easy.
Panel pops off. Wire goes forward into the inner fender, comes out underneath the hood. Not too bad
and here is where we put our switch. We're running most of our wiring, kind of connected and
terminated behind the side panel over here. Gonna put a little label on that switch. Just did a full
illumination blue switch. Lights up real nice here in the cabin of the vehicle. Kind of hard to miss
and fast fact, these hybrids are kind of fun to drive around the shop because they're silent.
So I don't know. When you're pulling this in the shop, it's interesting because it
doesn't make a single noise. It's very quiet. Thanks again for watching Wicked Warnings. If you have
