This is the start of a Lightbar & Light pod install on a Gem car the Family uses. My 9 year old nephew loves Cop cars & Fire trucks, so I found a light bar combo that has a Halo of multi color lights that flash and do a bunch of crazy stuff.

This car is used only in a gated community so pretty much anything go’s as far as lights ect, no one is getting a ticket or fine for running colord lights. Here is a link to a video I made of what the light bar and pods can do.

Nice ‘engineering’ for the pod mounts. What did you use for a power source ?  
Where did you get the lights?

**^^^^No that’s not the right one^^^**  
Sorry I wouldnt want anyone to Oder the incorrect one, so that’s why I put it in bold.

That light bar in the link above is a 20 inch bar, you need the 32 inch curved bar. **here is the correct link**

Spakee: I removed the Stock headlights. I simply tapped into the Gem cars stock power source that powers the headlights on Low beam. Pretty sure the wire was Purple/Black. You just cut the wires that would normally go to the cars headlights and use that 12v source for your new lights It’s more then enough power to feed the new LED pucks. I think they only draw 3 amps.

I think what you meant to say is “Grant if you really wanna piss off your neighbors install this on your gem car and give the on/off button to the nephew” LOL LOL thanks for the idea but no thanks. I could see that option becoming a problem in the hood. 🙂
