That puzzled look is the greatest lol. I would love going over the Bayshore Bridge in St Pete and have State troopers look at me puzzled.

Although, I tend to turn it off and let them get the speed after I slow down, especially since I relocated to Utah, and they're technically illegal here.

It was really hard to get the front and rear heads level which is essential to adequate performance. I still don't think my heads are perfectly aligned.

Thanks!! That is exactly where I was thinking of mounting the kill switch.

I'm honestly a bit on the fence about the LI though, reason being is that most of the benchmark testing the GOL did, used the high powered models, which had 2 diodes per head. the regular only has 1.

I'm still thinking that's better than LED's, which is what the blinders and the escorts use; but I never EVER had a problem with my blinders. I had those for about 4 years, drove cross country, parked and drove in rain / snow / and the humid florida heat; and I've never had a ticket since their install (averaged about 2 a year before getting them)

Funny thing is, is that last christmas I flew back down to FL to visit the folks, rented a dodge charger, and I got a $250 Laser Ticket on Keystone when I was down for only 2 weeks lol.

The cops aren't nearly as bad in Utah as they are in FL though. I've only been tagged with laser twice in 2 years, and they don't pull the shady tactics like the Florida cops do... (like sitting right over a hill where the speed limit magically drops from 55 to 30 on a 3 lane road.

mine is integrated into my escort 8500 and the display reads 'shifting front' or 'shifting rear'. you still need a radar detector, because not all police use laser.

Depends which brand you go with. Mike just mentioned how the escorts notify you... The Blinders have an LED that goes from Green to Red and a high pitch siren that goes off in the car. When you get tagged with laser you know it. Your car will light up like the start trek enterprise.

The Laser Interceptors don't have any visual alerts, but over the speakers you get a voice notification that even tells you what type of laser gun is tagging you.

I thought GOL also tested the regular version too?

I have an LI quad on my explorer and it gets JTG/JFG everytime. On the Z my mounting is off so I get punch throughs around 500feet or so in the front and rear. I need to work on that.

Now if I had one, and used it in an area that they were not legal, Would the polic have any way of knowing I was using a laser jammer?
