Yeah i think thats what im gonna do. Ive been thinkin about gettin a nice set of off road lights, like KC's or something and either puttin em behind the grille or makin some kind of a mount for the them on the front bumper. I might get a grille guard like this one maybe this summer hopefully so i could put lights on that. http://images01.olx.com/ui/5/89/44/1...1271621711.jpg I just dont want it to come up this high, just to the middle of the grille. Well see what happens though..

Those switches can be used to switch between high/low range axles on big rigs as well. Basically anything you want in your case!

Heres the update guys! I went down to the local antique store with my buddy after school today. The guy had four or five sirens for like $25 at the most. However, most of em were 6 volts except for the one that i got. We tried it in his store on a 6 volt battery, nothing. Tried it on my truck in the parkin lot, nothing. So i told him it wasnt workin and he said "well, go ahead and take it and maybe you can mess with it and get it to work". It was only marked for $2 haha so i brought it home, bypassed the relay mounted to the bottom of it and it went. I was able to get it all mounted and wired into my truck in less than an hour in 10* weather and it works great! Pretty good find id say! Ill grab some pics tomorrow of it.
