Default Police Lights and PA System

Hello, I am buying a 2010 Bayou and wondering if its possible to install a PA System and Police Lights to it. If anyone has experience with this or with knowledge of this, please tell me if its possible. If anyone has any sites with good lights and pa systems that would be great. I was planning on using lights from extreme tatical dynamics. I was going to get 2 dual lights and a power box to control the lights from. Please reply with information.

ive got strobes on my 300ex with controller, getting new ones for my lawn mower.
Don't get all the fancey stuff, i'll take some pics after i get it done and show you the easy way.
A good system is at autozone, have a 2 light system and a 4 light system on it.
2 light system was about $30
5 strobe was $25.

ok on my lawn mower i wired it so the headlights must be on to use the strobes

1) spliced into pos/ned wire to lawnmower headlight, connect pos power to positive headlight wire, negative to negative. Now you have your power.
2)came with a controller so stuck controller on dash
3)cut off access wire and tied em back togather, pos to pos, neg to neg, to each strobe remember theres a pos/ned. positive had white stripe on it.
4)covered all my cuts with electrical tape.

its just the simple way

on my 300ex i just put the red under pos terminal, black uinder negative, and they were on all the time, so had to turn em off at controller

A buddy had something like that on his rig, you could try AutoZone or do a Google search. I don't know what brand he had but it worked great.

Honda makes a police strobe kit for their ST1300 police edition touring motorcycle. If you go to their website, they have links to all the various vendors they use when they build a bike. Now you may have to do some fancy talking to get them to sell you the parts, but all the info is there online.

why would you want police strobes on your atv?
that would probably get you arrested around here for impersonating a PO.

Another thing is it would cause people to spit out their beer when some guy come around the bend with his red and blue lights flashing and siren blaring.
Not a good way to make friends. LOL
