Cool Emergency Lexus!!!

So, my regular job is CTO of the world’s largest independent Captive Insurance Company. However, I also am Lieutenant on my local fire department.

IN order to respond to fires, accidents, etc...I have installed emergency lights in my GS along with official fire plates. I plan on putting in more lights soon. For now I've put up a video of the car with the lights on. Noting too special, but hope you enjoy!

Thanks Tom,

Currently looking for a shop in New England that can install a bunch of undercover lights and do a top notch job without taking away from the interior in anyway.

No luck so far!

i wish i could put those in my f-sport. so you can only run those lights in an emergency??? what would happen if you use it for slow drivers and or if you're stuck in traffic??? that's a pretty cool addition though.

LOL...yeah...you need a license to run emergency lights in your personal vehicle. I'd lose my license if I ever used them inappropriately...although there are "MANY" times when I'd love to...LOL!

I must admit...it is kind of fun when I'm responding to a fire/accident scene and cops have to pull over for me as well. Makes it feel like pay back for all the speeding tickets I got when I was a young kid.

Lieutenant. Get them to promote you to Chief and give you a Tahoe. That way you get to keep the GS soley for your pleasure. That does look pretty cool though.

I would never have the time to be Chief with my regular job, plus using GS as an emergency vehicle gives me good reason for "Sport + Mode"
