I saw this on Youtube yesterday, just never actually watched it, now THAT is a brilliant light setup, runners underneath and on top, not 1 but 2 set's of strobes in the headlights, strobes on the front fender, in the grill AND on top, of course, NYPD, those are New York plates.

According to the uploader, the owner has no affiliation with any emergency services (there are people who get emergency lights for car shows and such - as long as the vehicle doesn't go on a road, it's legal).

Also, FYI, NYPD isn't the only law enforcement agency in New York State. Not only that, but NYS reserves flashing blue forward-facing lights (like on the mirrors there) to volunteer firefighters [they are treated as "courtesy" lights, sort of the equivalent of asking "Excuse me, but I'm in a hurry, so could you please let me through?"]. No police department may use them. However, federal agencies aren't bound by NY state law, so generally forward-facing blue = federal agent.

Living in NY, I wanted to clarify this. Emergency Service vehicles are allowed only ONE forward-facing blue light, and that light must be dimmer than the other lights. Volunteer firefighters are only allowed to have blue lights on their vehicles.

I stand corrected. That car has 2 bright blue lights facing forwards, so the point basically still stands.

Funny how things differ from state to state. There's a red Chevy Tahoe that runs around my neighborhood all the time, it belongs to the fire department. Lights are red and blue, but they're really only in the mirrors, the front dash and the rear windshield. It's more subtle and I kind of prefer it that way. No siren that I know of. Never heard the guy use one, anyway. He was behind me once when I was traveling to work and I pulled over as best I could (no shoulder, trees were right next to the road) to let him by.

Looks pretty much like that. Good color for the fire dept. :thumbsup:

I stand corrected.

No real need to, I don't think. You weren't really wrong. lol

It is funny how things change state to state. in Florida, Blue or Red and Blue is strictly Law Enforcement. We don't really have any volunteers around here and even off duty Law Enforcement cannot even keep lights in their POVs.
