    Got an old OSP Impala running after sitting for 20 years!

    Thats what OSP would put on their cars in the late 70s-mid 90s when they had CBs in each car. 9 was emergency, 17 was main highway channel, and I think 19 was also but cant remember for sure

    CHP "Dumb" Vision Build Round 2!

    Didn't want to do it but I cannibalized my first CHP build :(   Figured I was going to take it all apart and repaint it better anyway, wouldn't hurt to use some things for my current build that I need to finish as soon as possible New Bar. Was able to use all the Vision pod wiring in their...

    CHP "Dumb" Vision Build Round 2!

    Thanks for thinking of me Eric lol. Have a few of those already, basically useless unless you have the S810 control head and chp vision boards, but they are perfect for someone restoring a 90's chp car that wants correct equipment. If you know of any of those forward filters though, let me...

    CHP "Dumb" Vision Build Round 2!

    Thanks guys! Started working on the bar again, got the frame painted and started gathering wiring tidbits. A friend of mine in sweden was able to get all of the domes and filters new from FedSig for his CHP vision clone from a guy in San Diego. I asked him if his friend could still get them and...

    CHP "Dumb" Vision Build Round 2!

    Haven't been on here in months! Haven't had the drive to do any more lightbar stuff since I don't have a place to put my pretty babies when they are done, but I found a Vision under some of my stuff (I knew it was there, but I always thought it was a vector and forgot about it!). Pulled it out...

    Why no colored lens anymore like in the 80's and 90's?

    One of the Search and Rescue trucks in my area has clear lenses on the bar, with red and blue end caps. Looks a little strange, but kinda neat too, as if it's hinting "look I'm red and blue" lol

    1980's CHP lights and FS CC1!

    Thanks again! I love the mustangs! My dad and I have a small collection. I stuck lights in the 89 EVOC mustang my dad has. Just gotta wire it all up! The simplicity is awesome.

    1980's CHP lights and FS CC1!

    Thanks guys! CHP tested light bars in the 70s, little more common in the late 80s, then in the mid 90s some head guy(might have been commissioner) wanted more cars to have light bars. Some slick tops still use the red spotlight. Up until 08 I think all slick tops had red spotlights

    1980's CHP lights and FS CC1!

    All authentic CHP, deck lights out of an LTD/90-91 Crown Victoria, spotlights are original too. I tried to setup a wig wag with it but the headlights weren't wanting to work, and the flasher is not the same CHP used.

    2003 CHP Cuda lighting!

    Light setup off of a 2003 CHP crown Victoria(excluding the spotlights). I need to get a negative switched flasher or something for the blues since the lights are negative switched. Cool thing is my dad and I have a slicktop 03 CHP vic that we can put the stuff into when it comes time to...

    Lens, dome etc cleaning and polishing

    I bought some new clear vision domes on eBay, but they had some deep scratches on the inside. I sanded most of them out with 1500 followed by 2000. Are there any round buffer pads out there that I can put on a drill to buff out the inside easier? The domes are going on a car I'm restoring so I...

    Aerodynic domes - order to federal signal

    I don't know if it can be done, but it would be cool if you could order the # of lens sections you want and end caps all in pieces.

    CHP PA500 help?

    Yeah it's set up through the control head and radio. I dug out my other CHP PA500, M-CHP2 motor cycle siren. Tried it out and it works fine. I've devised a plan to take out the internals of the vehicle PA500 and unplug the wires, then slide in the motorcycle siren through the back. I'll keep...

    CHP PA500 help?

    I have an original CHP PA500 that was left in a wrecked car my dad bought from the CHP about 10 years ago. Car was wrecked in 93. According to the schematics I have, to activate Tap II and Wail, they need 8volts. What do I have to do to be able to put 8v to them? Also when I have the power...

    wiring vision TA leds

    I don't believe those came on Visions, since putting two together makes 6 sections, not 8. I saw this type of TA lighting in a different bar, but I can't remember which one. I'm buying alot of that guys stuff for my vision projects lol

    CHP Ford Explorers

    Ok I guess you can then. CHP probably found using the fog lights as less of a liability than tapping into the headlight wiring. Ford wiring harness's are very different now, some wires being multi-use too.

    CHP Ford Explorers

    Fords wiring harness makes it impossible to do a HLF. Shops couldn't do it on my dads 2011 expedition either.
