Question 1

What emergency vehicles can be upfitted?

Accepted Answer

We upfit police interceptors, fire apparatus, ambulances, command vehicles, and specialty first-responder units.
Cutting Edge Vehicle Lighting provides turnkey upfits for marked and unmarked police vehicles, fire engines and ladder trucks, brush units, Type I/II/III ambulances, EMS quick-response vehicles, and command and rehab units. Every install is designed to meet or exceed PA Title 75 visibility and warning-device requirements.

Question 2

What lighting options are available for commercial fleets?

Accepted Answer

Amber strobe and beacon arrays, perimeter warning, work lighting, traffic advisors, and backup safety systems. For utility, construction, municipal, and service fleets we offer full-perimeter amber LED warning, roof beacons, high-output LED scene and work lighting, directional traffic advisors, arrow boards, and backup alarm and camera integration. Packages are matched to the vehicle, the operating environment, and any contract or DOT specifications.

Question 3

How long does a vehicle lighting installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most installs run between 4 hours and 3 business days depending on scope and vehicle complexity. Single surface-mount beacons, simple LED kits, and basic accent installs are typically same-day. Mid-scope work — grille warning, side warning, controllers — usually runs 1 day. Full emergency vehicle upfits with consoles, prisoner partitions, and complete electrical integration generally take 2–3 business days. We provide a concrete timeline at quote.

Question 4

What areas in Pennsylvania do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We're based in Sellersville, PA and serve Bucks, Montgomery, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties. Our shop is in Sellersville, PA (18960). We regularly serve departments and fleets in Perkasie, Quakertown, Doylestown, and surrounding municipalities in Bucks County, as well as Montgomery, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties.

Question 5

Can you install lighting on personal vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we install headlight retrofits, accent lighting, rock lights, interior lighting, and full custom builds. Personal vehicle work is a meaningful part of what we do. Projector and LED headlight retrofits, ambient interior lighting, rock and underglow systems, and one-off custom builds are all in scope. Personal-vehicle warning lighting is only installed where legal and appropriate (volunteer firefighter privately-owned vehicles, off-road, etc.).

Question 6

What brands do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Whelen, Federal Signal, SoundOff Signal, Code 3, Havis, Setina, and other industry-standard brands. We install and service equipment from Whelen Engineering, Federal Signal, SoundOff Signal, Code 3, Havis, Setina, Tomar, and Feniex. Brand and component selection is matched to the vehicle, the operator preference, and the agency's existing fleet standardization where applicable.

Question 7

Do you provide custom lighting solutions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Custom builds are a core offering — every install is engineered around the vehicle and the mission. Custom work spans command-vehicle interior layouts, bespoke off-road auxiliary arrays, mixed-color accent systems, integrated controller programming, and full ground-up builds. Send photos, sketches, or a description of what you want and we'll work the scope and price from there.

Question 8

How much does vehicle lighting installation cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on scope. Basic installs start a few hundred dollars; full emergency upfits run several thousand. A simple surface-mount LED install with controller can start in the low hundreds. Mid-scope grille and side warning packages run in the four-figure range. Full Police or EMS upfits with consoles, partitions, and integrated controllers are typically several thousand dollars depending on equipment selection.
