Correct spotlights and correct halogen lights for 86 DPS?
Getting closer to the point in the DPS restoration where I will start needing equipment, and I'd like to know exactly what I need. I'm not familiar with law-enforcement at all, so what exactly do I need to have a correct spotlight for it? I see 6" lights, 5" lights, K length shafts, different handles... Does anyone know exactly what I need so that I can ask and make an informed purchase?
Secondly, I believe I need two red and two blue SHO-ME halogens for the car. Is this correct? And are they available new? Thank you VERY MUCH in advance, any help is greatly appreciated.

Not sure of the part #'s on mounting kits, I am sure someone can chime in with that. Handles should be the old plastic style, but the heads should be metal, not plastic. I do know that all parts can be purchased seperately, usually thru NAPA. Parts usually show up on ebay as well. I believe TX used 6 inch heads.....hope that helps....

Sorry, one last thing, you will need mounting kits, correct length shafts and handles. Unity Mfg makes a kit for every vehicle every made it seems. It can be expensive to assemble them that way versus buying a new one. But new ones, have incorrect plastic heads and incorrect rubber handles.....

It looks like I found everything I need for the spotlights, they will be expensive but will be brand new and will be correct.
I just shot an email over to SHO-ME to see if they've got any of the correct red/blues left. Any help here would still be greatly appreciated!

Going back to the top here. I've tracked down the SHO-MEs, I'll have to make brackets up which isn't a big problem, hoping to find someone who has an original car though to see how the brackets were patterned.
According to pictures, and I know this could vary, I should be running a Whelen Responder in red and probably a Decatur front radar.  Does anyone have any idea if they ran a siren, if so what type? Lastly, would DPS have run wig-wags on the headlights or no? As I have built the car now it is not provisioned for them.
