its a show car so thinking having every light lit on switch 3 might look ridiculous or is that how the PD's do it?

I still didnt even get a siren yet for the car.
Headlights would only be on with warning to the front at 2. We used takedowns and alleys separately (actually used them in the city) so they weren't part of the mix.

Good enough. The unitrol doesnt have any extra switches so I will probably not hook up the alleys and takedowns.

We have wig wags only come on in stage three. The reason they did it this way was to allow for solid head lights to the front for officer safety, yet you still had emergency lights to the front without the wig wags throwing distortions into the suspect contact. We found it was worse with strobes going off if it turned into a lethal confrontation. We tested this idea on the range and had officers shoot anywhere from 10-60 points less for that qualification.
