Just be mindful that any after market DOT Safety lights additions must be DOT APPROVED type. This should have a DOT number stamped into the lens to identify if it is DOT approved...
Ran into this alot back in my off-road trucking and Jeep days... You purchase the fancy new items and install them only to have to remove them when it becomes inspection time.
Just be sure what you are purchasing is DOT Approved in your state.
There is another issue with LED LIGHTS causing RFI interference with some electronic/radio/TV items... Being SAFETY lights probably won't an issue with you but being a Ham radio guy I have pulled up behind big trucks with their LED lights on and my Ham radio would would start acting up... Also in my RV trailer that had one brand of regulated ceiling LED lights installed would blank out my HDTV and WX radio especially when I was using the OTA antenna every time I turned on the ceiling lights... I had to replace the LED lights for the non-regulated type to resolve this problem... Just something to think about haha...

My fire dept one engine has a problem with RFI. Every time we key up the radio the main light bar goes out, when we let off the mic the bar comes back on. Could never find a fix for it.
