In search of one single blue lens for this bar. Can even trade a pair of red lenses for it. Have an entire parts bar of the same. Will hand over whatever to you if you are able to provide me with one blue dome lens. Money? Trade? Both?

also looking for Weldon 1020 blue lenses, (the round ones that fit the overhead flashers on a school bus) but that's less important

Jesus. People are ridiculous. I just need one for a restoration job on an old Ford C8000 fire engine. Worst case I will trade up for a different bar. If people are offering up the same amount of cash for a damn lightbar as I paid for an entire fire engine I think maybe I should invest in plastic manufacturing equipment instead and mass produce those lenses myself haha

Yeah, it's because that is the light bar from Ecto 1 and Ecto 1A and with the new Ghostbusters movie coming out everybody wants that light bar

I would say go with a different style light bar any different light bar you could get them for far cheaper

I have a mountain of bars to pick from, was just REALLY hoping to keep things original. Its not the end of the world, not like it's a Model T or anything overly fancy. Will probably pull an old Whelen Duplex bar off the shelf and jam it into place

Didn't realize they made filters for them. I will look into it. This is the first project I've had with this particular bar. I'm only 33 so I still have plenty of learning to do with this older stuff. Have to do it tho, I hate all this new LED Fisher-price looking junk. I dont care how bright or efficient they are, they all look cheap! And bring back the iconic colored lenses on the lightbars !!!!!

This isn't the truck I'm working on at the moment, but I do own it. You can see what I have for taste in vehicles
I'm not a fan of the whole red and blue lights on fire trucks thing.... to me fire trucks should be red and clear just my opinion

It's a restoration. And in my area the half blue shows a very clear separation between an in service truck and privately owned antiques...and not to mention no one out in traffic has any respect for the red lights as they fly past roadside trucks within inches
