Craig,

The retired police cruisers that are sold at auction here in California
still have the spotlights attached (and working).  Whereas, most of the
other goodies have been removed prior to sale.  So... I'm pretty sure
they're legal in Kaleeforeeya.

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: post mounted 'police' spot lights...... illegal?

So I just bought an older (and thus sturdy and well built!) Police style
post mounted spot light at a VW show. I got it for a great price, but a few
people have since informed me that if I install It.... doing so is illegal?

I have searched online and cannot find any information regarding this. Does
anyone know if these are actually illegal to possess? It would be nice to
know before I drill a nice hole in the A pillar (Crap van, getting scrapped
soon, going to be mindful of wires in the A Pillar).

Thanks in advance!
