Is this the light?

Looks like it...is the shield held on with spring-like clips?

No, this one has screws, here's another pic

It looks right...and I think there were a couple of versions. Mine is a little different, though. Jim...how about yours?

I didn't think anyone would notice that in my signature so fast! More info and pics to follow this week or next (hopefully). I've waited 10 years for this car, a week or two more won't kill me!

The light I have has the spring on it. However, the mounting bracket doesnt line up with the holes. I spoke with the guy at Coplites or something like that. He told me, he had supplied the CHP with the brackets and lights for a period. He said the ones he supplied actually had the rearview mounted to it. Does anyone have one like that??? And on the rear deck lights, I thought I saw in a photo that the lights were not directly on top of each other, but staggered slightly. Meaning the red/blues were above and behind the arrowstick. It looked like maybe the bracket was shaped like steps. I dunno though, just asking??

Jerry,

I think I may have the same light that you do....versus the other version that Jim and Eric have. Same deal with me...I'll get over to storage and dig it out in the next few days. I'd like to post pics of both on the CHP resto area.

I believe that Jim's brackets for the rear deck lights came directly from CHP (not sure about the spacing issue you mentioned).

I'm no expert here, but the pictures I've seen in various police car books show the arrow on top mounted just behind the red/blue lights in a step mount. The attached photos are blown up and cropped so the detail isn't that great, but does seem to show the stepped bracket.

I've also got a pic of a Caprice with a step mount and the red/blues on top of the arrow.
