Default Question about LED Flashers/Strobes

I'm set to be picking up my new truck within the week, a 98 reg cab short bed f150, 4.6l with only 90k on it.
I'm going to be using it for work so I want to outfit it with some strobes/led flashers.

I don't really want to do the hideaway style, I want to have a set up like the county utility vehicles do around here in Florida.

Basically, the lights are LEDs laid out in a rectangular grid, about 2"x3" and they screw into the bumpers/grill. They then hook up to a flasher unit. I've looked around online but I can only find the hideaways or lights that are too large.

I cant find any pictures online so i'll see if i can snap a picture when i see them around town.

Yea I haven't really seen anyone running anything like your describing on half tons. AW direct does have some high prices though. They are more heavy duty transportation based though. Most of their stuff is set up to work with 24 volt systems and 3/4 ton and up trucks.

Different grilles. F250's tend to have a standard grille design, F150's have like 4 or 5 standard grille options.
