Choosing lights for a pickup, SUV, utility truck, service body, contractor van, or personal response vehicle gets complicated fast. The vehicle matters. So does the location. A light that works well on a grille may be the wrong answer for a running board, rear window, or headache rack.
That’s what the Redline Fitment Guide is built to sort out.
The guide starts with your vehicle and the places where you need light. From there, it narrows the Redline catalog to products suitable for those locations and puts the useful choices in front of you. You can compare product families, check color options, open the accessory list, add products to the cart, and print a summary when you’re ready to talk through the package with a dealer or installer.
It’s a cleaner way to start than searching product names one at a time.
Start with the vehicle
The first screen asks you to choose a vehicle type:
-
SUV
-
Pickup Truck
-
Car, 2-door
-
Car, 4-door
Pick the closest match to the vehicle you’re outfitting. That choice controls which mounting locations show up next. A pickup can offer options such as a headache rack and running board. Those choices don’t make sense on every vehicle, so the guide keeps the list tied to the vehicle type.
The selector is built around light-duty vehicles and personal response setups. Think pickups, SUVs, utility trucks, service bodies, contractor vans, and similar vehicles where space and mounting access can change from one rig to the next.
Choose where the lights need to go
After you choose the vehicle, you’ll see the question: Where do you need lights?
Select the mounting locations that matter for your setup. Depending on the vehicle, the list can include:
-
Quarter panel
-
Exterior mirror
-
Running board
-
Roof
-
Rear or tailgate
-
Rear bumper
-
Front grille
-
Front bumper
-
Interior windshield
-
Interior rear window
-
Interior side window
-
Scene lighting
You can select more than one location. Maybe you need lights in the grille, front bumper, rear, and interior windshield. The results keep those areas separate, so you can work through the vehicle one section at a time.
There are two additional mounting choices in their own section:
-
Headache Rack: an elevated light mount at the front of a pickup bed.
-
Brush Bar / Push Bar: a front bumper position in front of the grille.
Those aren’t just extra labels. They change which products show up. A light assigned to a headache rack or brush bar is surfaced in the matching results tab.
Add warning colors when you know them
The next section lets you choose the warning colors you need at each selected location. Available choices can include red, blue, amber, white, and green, depending on the products assigned to that location.
This step is optional. Leave a location without a color selection if you want to see the broader set of products available there. Add colors when the setup is already defined and you want to narrow the list.
There’s one detail worth understanding. Programmable lights may stay in the results when they support the colors you chose, even if the product has additional color capability. The guide calls that out so you can see that the light can be programmed for the combination you selected.
For fixed-color products, the match is more exact. If the colors you choose don’t match an available version, the guide will tell you there’s no match for that location. That’s useful information. It keeps you from assuming a product comes in a combination that it doesn’t.
Add a siren or controller if you need one
The guide also asks whether you need a siren and whether you need a controller or programmer.
These are handled separately from the location-based lights because they aren’t mounted to one specific body position in the same way. Turn on the siren option to see sirens and speakers. Turn on the controller or programmer option to see the equipment used to manage compatible warning lights.
That keeps the whole package in one place. Review the lighting locations, then look at the audible warning and control equipment without starting a second search.
Review the recommended products
Select See Recommended Products and the guide turns your choices into results.
Each selected location gets its own tab. You may also see tabs for Headache Rack, Brush Bar / Push Bar, Sirens, and Controllers. The result count shows how many products are in the current view, and selected colors appear with the location when they’re being used as a filter.
Products are grouped by family when there are multiple versions. That keeps the results from turning into a long list of nearly identical cards. Instead, you can compare the available size, version, and color choices inside the product family.
A result card may show:
-
Product name and part number
-
Product image
-
Available colors
-
Size or version choices
-
A short purpose description
-
Current price, when listed
-
Accessories for that product
-
A Details link to the product page
-
An Add to Cart button when the item is available
The purpose line gives you the quick read on where the product belongs before you open the full product page.
Use the accessories before you finalize a location
Many installations need more than the light itself. Product cards can be expanded to show related mounts and bezels. The available accessories change with the selected product version, which matters when a family has more than one size or configuration.
Open the accessory list before you assume the mounting hardware is covered. It’s a small step that can save a second order and a second round of emails.
Build the package one location at a time
The guide is set up for decisions, not for dumping a whole catalog into the cart. Review the current location, choose the version that fits the job, and add that product if it belongs in the package. Then move to the next tab.
That approach is especially useful on a mixed setup. The front grille may call for an ultra-low-profile light. The rear may need a different warning pattern or traffic-director function. A running board may call for a long programmable light. An interior windshield may need a dash-mounted option with the right beam angle.
The vehicle is one system, but every mounting point has its own problem.
Print a summary for the next conversation
Once you’ve added products to the cart, the sticky cart bar gives you two useful options: View Cart and Print Summary.
Print Summary creates a clean vehicle configuration summary grouped by location. It includes the selected products, part numbers, prices, product total, and a note that taxes and shipping aren’t included. You can print it or save it as a PDF.
That makes the guide useful beyond the first shopping session. Send the summary to a dealer. Bring it to an installer. Use it as a starting list when you’re checking the vehicle in person. If the products and accessories look right, you can continue to the cart and buy them through the store.
The summary reflects what you added to the cart. It isn’t a final installation drawing or a substitute for confirming the actual vehicle measurements.
A few things to check before ordering
The guide is meant to narrow the field and make the product conversation easier. It doesn’t inspect the specific year, make, and model of your vehicle, and it can’t see obstructions, available wiring paths, existing equipment, or the exact mounting surface.
Before ordering, confirm:
-
The available space at each mounting location
-
The actual length, depth, and cutout requirements
-
Whether the selected bracket or bezel matches the product version
-
Wiring access and controller requirements
-
Vehicle-specific interference with mirrors, trim, doors, windows, or body panels
-
Applicable installation and warning-light requirements for your use
When the vehicle is unusual, the installation is custom, or the package needs a second set of eyes, contact FireTech for help with a custom lighting plan or product questions.
Start with the vehicle. Finish with the installation.
The Redline Fitment Guide gives you a cleaner starting point than browsing a catalog by product name. Choose the vehicle. Mark the locations. Add colors when they matter. Review the products by tab. Check the accessories. Print the summary if someone else needs to review the package.
Then verify the actual vehicle before the order becomes an installation.
That’s the right role for a fitment guide. It gets the conversation pointed in the right direction without pretending every vehicle is the same.
