1980 Ford Fairmont CHP police car

Hello Folks and thank you for allowing me to join your group. I have a 1980 Ford Fairmont and am restoring it to CHP livery. I am looking for a set of deck lights like the one pictured...only need a pair for the driver's side but will take a set of 3 not to bust up a set.

Looking for a complete set with housings and bulbs, Red and amber.

Also looking for the flip-down red steady burn that was mounted in the front upper windshield area. If anyone has some vintage radio equipment from this era that would help as well.

Thank in advance

Do you know specifically what radio equipment would have been used?

I never knew CHP used the Fairmont, or that red/blue strobe setup on the roof.

In the early 80s Ford gave the CHP3 Fairmont to test along with Aspen volaris the Malibu and the nova because it was going to the midsize Car group those lights that are on the roof or something that Whalen engineering gave them to try out definitely nothing I’m gonna be putting back on my car cause it looks Stupid.

Make contact with a ham radio club in your area. Chances are, you can find what you need through a ham.
