A long, long story short, like so many, I wanted to be an officer when I was young. I remember my dad being pulled over with me in the back seat, in the 80's. I immediately climbed around to look at the shiny lights flashing and was like a moth glued to them. Ever since I have had this first...

Green now in NY is used by municipals for snow removal, plows and such. Has been in effect for three years now. They say green is more effective than amber in a snow storm, so they say.

Ok, looking for how to get the dome off this Star 9100 so I don't gouge or break it. They couldn't use simple screws like everyone else and make it easy. This is the 9100 that I got new old stock, cheap, but has only two selectable patterns when the manual says it has 20. I want to see inside...

Someone here said you have to open it up to switch to different patterns. Must be the dip switch thing is true. No matter what I do, I only have 4 patterns. I tried to get the dome off, but don't see how . While it is a bright light, it is built on the cheap side even though they sell for...

I tried it quick taps, slight taps all the ways I could and nothing happens. Just 4 patterns out of said 20. I get a wig wag and full bar flash with two intensities of each. Kinda frustrating, this bar is brand new and it says it does 20 patterns and it won't. Guess it's a dud. I wanted a...

I'll try that I do hold it too long....not like for a few seconds, but probably a second. It just seems like it won't do anything if I just hit it quick. I'll try it when I get home, thanks

I counted the patterns today and I have 5. Far cry from 20. The manual says 20 patterns and even list them as what they are. I wanted to find the one that has steady burn to one side and a slow flash to the other side. Sort of an advisor function. The patterns I have are quite aggressive. I've...

Hey all. I found and purchased a Star Contour 9100 mini led bar with vacuum and magnet mount. Has a cig plug with power rocker and momentary switch for pattern select. This is new old stock I got for 100 bucks, good deal Manual says 20 patterns selectable, I can only see about 5 or 6 patterns...

If I do fix it up that's the way it will go, but it's looking better to parting it out honestly.

I redeemed myself yesterday for the bad purchase of that StreetHawk. Found a Star Signal Mini light 9100led with vacuum magnet mount and cig lighter hookup. Has a momentary pattern select switch, very Brite. It is brand new in originall box had never been plugged in .. I got it for 100 bucks...

That's the plan. Just thought side alleys wouldn't be of use in a plow truck situation, but if they flashed in amber, then it would give better warning on the narrow sides of the bar, while truck is backing in and out of driveways. If I can find green lenses for the alleys, then I will make...

Actually leave the TDs intact for more lighting on a dark snowy night while plowing and make the rear flashers into work lights or brake lights

My plan for this if I don't start selling parts from it, would be to make it a simple plow truck light. Snow season is here and I know where I can get some amber domes. Replace the reds with ambers, cap the front flashers, turn the rear flashers into work lights and put amber caps on the alleys...

Yah I always figured the thing up in the grill that goes weeeeeeee weeeeeeeeee is a siren. Please forgive my ignorant ass.

I have one of these, easily the best shape bar I have. Got it at a local VFD that were going to toss it, along with my mx7000. Mine is red and I know it's longer than an average 48 inch, 52 inch possibly. Mine looks to have the long grill too, bit no stingray, just 4 slow rotators. It has red...

As of now, all parts on both of my StreetHawks(one all light/red lenses and one Center housing/red lenses) are for sale. (videos above) This is my first time selling lightbar stuff online so please give me a break if I mess something up, lol I'm not out to make a million dollars off of these...

Definitely payed too much I screwed up. He met me half way because it was a distance, so I guess I felt pressured to not look like an ass, low balling the price or buying nothing at all, wasting his time. So I was like whatever and agreed on 120, while gritting my teeth Besides a couple of...

I know it When I first saw it I was like oh God I don't want that thing, to myself, but held on to the notion that I could low ball and have a good parts bar. The guy met me half way and I would feel like an ass if I didn't buy it, so I gave him 120 and told myself taking this as a lesson. I'm...

*videos below* I found this StreetHawk today that the owner said was like new police light and siren. Excited that the siren was intact so I went ahead and got it. On first inspection the entire bar was no place like new at all. All the normal aged blemishes, rust on the bottom, hazed lenses...

Nah don't be offended! I'm not as young as you all think! I know I can seem that way, but it's my child like enthusiasm talking about emergency lights on here. I'm 43!

It just says made in USA, it;s old has a chrome base, so it will make a nice shelf piece. She has another signal stat one I am geting too, already got one of those from her several months ago. Also she says her dad says he has a Andy Griffith cop car light I can look at. LOL I'm hoping for a...

Found a Dietz 7-40 beacon in Amber today local. It said make offer so I said 20 bucks and now it's mine. Just got to go get it, but it looks decent and old and worth 20 bucks I guess. Are these very collectable? Eiher way I guess a nice old light in good shape is worth saving, plus I like how...

I went ahead and got it today and she said 40 dollars and it's mine. So I believe the parts alone are worth a lot more than that. It definitely didn't look as good in person than it did in the photos, but it is decent. Just a bit dirty, usual dome fog and all that. Bad things are, it has a...

It is a streethawk by the picture I was sent. Looking closely it looked like the dome has been calked up where it joins the bottom? The bar looks in good shape, but hard to tell from pictures . SHL series B....

That's what I thought, but I noticed the Wolo has the purple like band around the edges of the center dome. So does the one in the picture. That is what got me wondering if it's a Wolo.

I found a nice streethawk local for sale for 50 dollars. I always wanted a streethawk. The person has not gotten back to me about it, asking if I can have pics of the stickers as they do not show up in these pictures. I asked if this is a streethawk. I have a feeling this might be a Wolo...

Thanks for the picture.... For now I'll just leave it alone, but in search of what bar I want to put on my truck, this one looks great on top of my truck. Of course I'll change to all amber as I am not a responder. Disclaimer: I only put the red bar on my truck for a picture, it is now off the...

I just hooked up the grey harness like you said and the T/A came to life. Yepp positive on the white wire and I wrapped all the other ones together and all the T/A came on when I touched them to negative. They only burn steady right now. They are bright! Even from a distance they shine. Very...

Here is a pic of the harness ends. The grey one on the right is the arrowstick controller and last night I accidently discovered the thinner wires on the left are the function trigger wires. I thought the thicker wires were the main trigger wires. It's confusing, not sure how the wires on the...

I figured out the thin wires are the triggers and the grey wire harness must be the T/A. I have corner strobes, take downs and alleys, plus the T/A that I haven't got to work yet. I assume it needs its own power hooked up other than the fat red and black wires for the battery. Here's a video of...
