Dash Light Videos
Dash lights and rear deck lights are one of the cleanest ways to add serious warning visibility without exterior mounting. When installed correctly, you get strong forward and rear coverage while keeping the vehicle low profile when the lights are off.
This page is a curated library of real customer submitted dash light and rear deck light videos. Use the clips to compare what matters in real traffic, not studio footage: through windshield intensity, pattern definition at distance, off angle visibility at intersections, and how much glare or flashback the setup creates inside the cabin.
Dash and deck results vary more than almost any other warning light style because the windshield and rear glass become part of the “lens.” Tint level, glass angle, mounting height, and aim can make the same light look completely different from one vehicle to the next. The guides and tables below help you compare videos fairly so you do not draw the wrong conclusion from a single clip.
Extreme Tactical Dynamics has supplied professional warning lighting since 2005. If you want a second set of eyes before you order, our team can help you avoid the most common dash and rear deck mistakes: mounting too low, aiming too flat into the glass, creating night glare, and choosing a power method that does not match how you actually use the vehicle.

TX POV emergency set up from a distance with CPS Authority and Extreme Tactical Dynamics lights
This is a video of my TX POV set up with Extreme Tactical Dynamics and CPS Authority lights. It has an explanation in it of what is there and what it looks like in direct sunlight from a distance. The car does have a 30% tint which is the most you can legally have in the state of TX without it being illegal. So that being said the lights are still being seen very brightly through the tint, so consider that what your looking at them on top of the direct sunlight. This distance is equivalent to a street block in a city or a fields length, while I am in from of the care the sides are being looked at from about 35 yards, and the back is being looked at from about 55 yards. This is to show how the lights looks from far away when responding. Let me know if you have any questions.

Extreme Tactical Dynamics POV Setup
This is my truck setup with a pair of ETD LED Dash's W/ P1 Optics in the front, Undercover 12's on the side for Intersection lights, and Dual LED Dual's W/ P1 Optics in the rear. The Grill lighting is aone of the first lights I bought before finding ETD. They are Uniform Warehouse Undercover Grill lights. They work well but I would like to change them up soon. The underlighting is a creation on my own where I bought super bright LED Strip lights that stick, and secured them to the bottom of the truck. They work great at night, but are pointless in the daytime. I am running a remote siren and all the lighting is activated when the siren switch is powered on.

Quick Comparison Guide for Dash and Rear Deck Videos
The 7 variables that change what you see on camera
Windshield tint and tint band height
Darker tint can reduce perceived output, and the top tint band can block part of the beam if a dash light sits too high or too far back.
Windshield rake, dash depth, and aim
Steeper windshields and deep dashboards change projection. A light aimed too flat into the glass can look bright head-on but lose useful distance and create cabin glare at night.
Mounting height and placement zone
A dash light mounted too low can lose forward visibility. A rear deck light mounted too high can create more reflection and can be blocked by headrests or brake light housings.
Rear glass tint and rear shelf angle
Rear deck performance is heavily affected by tint level and the slope of the rear glass. The best comparisons show the light from real following distance, not only close up shots.
Flashback and reflection control
Through glass setups can reflect off the windshield, dash, hood, and rear glass. Interior night clips are the fastest way to spot installs that look intense outside without distracting the driver.
Power method: plug in vs hardwire
Plug in setups are fast and portable for shared vehicles. Hardwired installs are typically cleaner, more permanent, and easier to integrate with switches and controllers.
Camera exposure and auto-brightness
Phones often dim bright scenes automatically. Use videos for relative comparison, pattern definition, and off-angle visibility, not as a calibrated brightness test.
Dash and Rear Deck Install Planning Table
Use this checklist to evaluate what customers show in the videos before you pick a setup
| What you are trying to achieve | What to verify in the videos | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Strong forward warning through the windshield | Daytime punch, distance readability, and off-angle visibility at intersections | Through-glass installs can look great head-on but drop off quickly from side angles if placement and aim are wrong |
| Minimize glare and cabin distraction at night | Night clips that show dash reflection and hood reflection, plus how the light is aimed | A clean install improves outside visibility and reduces driver fatigue |
| Quick removable setup for shared vehicles | Plug-in power, mount stability on turns and bumps, and cord routing that does not interfere with driving | Portability only helps if the light stays positioned correctly and the cabin remains safe and functional |
| Rear approach warning with a rear deck light | Rear window visibility through tint and pattern clarity from real following distance | Rear visibility is a major safety factor in traffic, especially for roadside operations |
| Professional wiring and controller placement | Wire routing, controller location, switch placement, and overall install cleanliness | Clean routing improves reliability and reduces long-term issues from pinched wires or loose connections |
| Balanced front and rear coverage | Whether the build shows coordinated front and rear warning and consistent pattern behavior | Balanced coverage is typically more recognizable and safer than a single-direction setup |
How to Compare Two Dash Light Videos Fairly
A simple viewing process that prevents bad conclusions
Step 1
Watch one daytime clip and one nighttime clip for each setup.
Step 2
Prioritize videos that show an intersection or slight side approach, not only straight-on close-ups.
Step 3
Judge pattern definition at distance first. If the pattern blurs, it is harder for other drivers to recognize quickly.
Step 4
At night, look for glare control. The best dash lights stay bright outside without lighting up the dash, hood, or windshield.
Step 5
For rear deck lights, only trust clips that show real following distance. Close-up rear glass clips can be misleading.
Step 6
Use multiple clips to decide. One video can be skewed by tint, camera exposure, or a single camera angle.

What makes a dash or rear deck video most helpful
A steady camera angle, a short daytime clip, a short nighttime clip, and a quick pattern demo. A brief interior shot that shows glare and reflection is especially helpful for buyers comparing through-windshield setups.
Compliance Note
Use only what is legal for your role and location
Warning light color restrictions and permitted use vary by state, vehicle type, and operator role. If you are unsure what is allowed where you operate, reference our state statutes guide before installing or activating warning lights.

Dash Light Videos FAQ
Do dash lights and rear deck lights work well through tinted windows?
They can, but tint level and glass angle change results dramatically. Use multiple clips that match your tint level and prioritize pattern definition at distance, not only close-up brightness.
Why do some dash lights look strong head-on but weak from the side?
Through-windshield performance depends on placement and aim. A light mounted too low or aimed too flat into the glass can lose off-angle visibility, which matters most at intersections.
What is the most common mistake you can spot in dash light videos?
Mounting too low and accepting heavy windshield or dash reflection at night. The best installs balance outside visibility with controlled interior glare.
Are plug-in dash lights reliable for daily use?
Plug-in setups are a great option for shared vehicles and temporary installs, but the mount must stay stable and the cord must route safely. If the light is used every day, many drivers prefer hardwired installs for cleaner integration.
How should I evaluate rear deck light videos correctly?
Look for clips filmed from real following distance and from a slight angle, especially through tinted rear glass. Close-up shots can exaggerate brightness and hide pattern readability issues.
