Police Car Parts?

Where might i find "police cruiser accessories" like light bars and whatever they use to make there heaand tail lights flash like they do?

well, you could probably find out from your cop shop, but it's a big no-no unless it's a show car, just having a light bar (at least here) constitutes "imitating an emergency vehicle"

A guy at work has an eclipse hes turning into a police car for show. I had no idea that they had stores in town where you could buy police equipment, thanks.

I'm not sure, but I think he was being sarcastic.....

Anyhow, an Eclipse as a police car!?! When he finishes, you must post pics!!! :eek:

I thought it was illegal everwhere???

its not illegal to HAVE wig-wags, its just illegal to USE them, just like having nitrous. I think though having a lightbar on top of you car is illegal, just casue its there and people can see it.

i dont know about acting like one,its probobly different in each state but, you can get a magizine that has police parts to their cars inside, i forget the name tho...:confused:

when you buy those sorts of lights they usually come with a little warning that says "for off road use only". this means that unless you hvae a liscense to use them you can only turn them on when not on public roads. otherwise, haveing them on your car is perfectly legal (however ugly).

thats a shame i wouldn't mind some cop stuff altho i saw a trans m with red and blue strobes all i could do was shout "how longs it gonna take before you get pulled over for being a dumbass"

the fuzz will still harass you thou, even if your not breaking any laws. If they see an eclipse or whatever drive by with a lightbar they're gonna say "I didn't just see that..." and proceed to pull you over for BS reasons (like they do to normal cars:rolleyes: )

Forget the legal reasons..........What is the point????????? :confused: :confused:

very odd indeed

Anyone else notice that state police dept's are using Chevy Camaros to chase down speeders on highways? Anyone who has a camaro find some cop parts now that they should have them around somewhere :)

yeah but come on john, who in their right mind would want to imitate a fed? come on now.....they're just askin for trouble never ride in their cars:p

It's legal to have emergency lights, but not a big lightbar on your car if you have a license for them. I'm getting my license for them soon, cause i'm a volunteer firefighter. You just need to be over 18, pass fire 1, and be 2nd class, in the department that i'm in. Blue is fire department, red/blue is police, and i'm not sure what white is. Amber lights are just warning lights and i'm pretty sure you don't need a license to have them.

google has the answers,as usual (http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=lightbars+sirens+police+vehicle+accessori es&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search)

thers a lot of magazines that sell them too.

I believe amber strobes are considered the same as hazard flashers and are legal, although if not used in a situation requiring caution like a wrecker or something, you would get hassled for sure.
