Warning Lighting
Vehicle warning-light installations designed around the vehicle, intended use and applicable equipment.
- Grille and dash lights
- Rear warning lights
- Amber strobes
- Compatible hideaway systems
Red White & Glow installs vehicle safety and warning lighting for mail carriers, pilot and escort vehicles, work trucks, utility vehicles, roadside-support vehicles, security vehicles and other compatible builds. From amber strobes and traffic advisors to scene lights, work lights, reverse lights and custom controls, we focus on secure mounting, clean wiring and proper circuit protection.
Vehicle warning lighting needs to do more than flash. The lights need to be mounted securely, the electrical system needs appropriate protection, the wiring needs to be routed carefully, and the controls need to make sense for the person operating the vehicle.
Whether you're building a rural mail carrier vehicle, pilot car, work truck, utility vehicle, roadside-support vehicle or security vehicle, we build the installation around the vehicle and its intended use.
Different jobs call for different lighting. We can build a system around visibility, work-area illumination, roadside operation, escort work or general vehicle safety.

Safety and work lighting should operate reliably when you need it. We focus on organized wiring, appropriate circuit protection, secure mounting and weather-aware connections.
A pilot vehicle, mail carrier, work truck and security vehicle may each need a different combination of controls and circuits.
Depending on the equipment, we can integrate individual switches, relays, compatible factory auxiliary switches or an aftermarket switch panel.
