Hello all,

I discovered the other day that my 2011 Impala 9C3 had some type of light on the rear deck. I would like to try and install the same light that was originally there. I got some machine screws and a measuring stick so that you can understand how the light was mounted. Their are 4 mounting holes total, and a 5th hole for the wire to poke down the rear deck on the passenger side of the vehicle. The center of the holes are about 1 7/8" from front to back, and just under 13 1/4" wide. If anybody has any ideas as to what light was mounted here it would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that this car was originally upfitted in 2011 so whatever light it was very well could no longer be produced or may have been redesigned.

Unless there's an imprint of the actual hosing on the rear carpet that'll be next to impossible to figure out - most interior sticks have movable bracket mounts unless it was a light specific to that year make and model of vehicle

Do you know which agency it came from? That may be of some help. Otherwise...you're pretty much SOL. Lots of bars have similar dimensions

I have seen where the metro where I live will take a custom bracket and put a slimlighter in the middle and 2 linz6 on each side raised up. It is definelty a custom setup on most of the older unmarked crusiers. I’ll try and take a pic of one

Sorry for such a delay in responding...

This vehicle was formerly owned by the federal government, and I can't confirm but believe it was in service in the Washington DC area. It has evidence of hideaways in the headlights/taillights, some type of light stick on the rear deck, and what I believe is mounting holes for a Whelen avenger on the front passenger side of the headliner.

This pictures is a drawing showing what kind of "imprint" was left in the carpet from the existing light stick. Note the wire exits the rear of the light stick on the passenger side.

If you're pretty confident that it was a govt ride, give a call to Priority Install in Gaithersburg, MD. They have a ton of Gov contracts. The owner Jeff is an awesome guy & should be able to tell you whether or not it's ever come thru his shop.
