Tried to get this answered quickly on Facebook but no dice. Now I turn to the experts (that’s you all).

Did Code 3 make green XL domes?

Would assume so given existence of SD and LP green domes, but only green XL dome I’ve seen is in below video and perhaps it was homemade (not that I’ve come across a ton of green SD or LP domes but there are a few out there).

I know this light.. the Green is actually the cellophane wrap found in Easter baskets wrapped around a clear XL dome.
This video is from a friend of mine down south..
Pretty ingenious if you ask me.. he just wanted to make a light that had every color.. and there it is.

Yeah that’s my interest as well (as is probably obvious given my recent Aero 25 post). Thanks Rob.

Have the same light and trying to decide what I want to do with it. I’d consider a Ghostbusters ambulance but probably out of my price range and no good place to park it!

I should have been clearer- what lightbar was mounted on the Ghostbusters ambulance and wasn't there some green?

I'm not a ghost busters aficionado, but the 2nd movie car had clear XL5000s that had the rotator filters.. I think just about every color including green. Code 3 made filters in blue, red, amber, and Green.

Yes. Here’s youtube vids of front (one w red) and rear (blue). Not my vids. These are from Ghostbusters 2. Original Ghostbusters had an all blue domes w speaker grill.

Yes in GBII both bars had green filters (which two videos in my post above show). Purpose of this thread, though, is to find out if Code 3 ever made green domes for the XL (well known that green rotator filters were made). Thanks Rob for noting one in video in first post was homemade. Anyone know if any were factory made?

Yes, they made green XL filters for the rotators.

No, they didn't make green domes.

Appreciate response. That is what I assumed and, frankly, hoped was the case... otherwise I’d be forever on look for one.
