Hello!

I am new to this forum, so if this is not in the right place, I'll take it down. I am trying to ID what lightbar I have on my ambulance. Most specifically, I am trying to replace an end cap (stupid off roading) but having immense trouble finding the model on it. Assumedly it's a Whelen as that's the make of every other part (non Ford) on it. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be very appreciative! Happy to provide more shots as this one is probably a little weak.

Make: Custom Series by Wheeled Coach, 2002, Ford, e-350

(She has been immensely modified since this shot but the lightbar remains).

Thank you!

It is a Whelen advantedge plus. That was the bar that came before the 4500. They contain 7x3 halogen and strobes and a few different rotators. They were replaced by the 4500 so you cannot get replacement lens, but they do share lenses with the advantedge bars (the non-surface mount ones). 4500 parts will fit but not be "truly correct". I have endcaps I believe, I was charging about $45 each, but I am getting low and the are becoming rare. The 4500 deleted the end caps and made the entire last lens section an end piece.

From the picture it looks like a Whelen 4500 bar maybe an advanced edge. There should be a label on the underside of it.

Brilliant! Thank you so much! I cannot believe I didn't see the sticker until you pointed it out. Appears to be 'AdvantEdge'.

Bonus pic of what she looks like now.

Wow, you guys know your stuff. I'm happy to purchase one if you still have any in stock.

I will look, I think I have a red one. They are side specific, do you need driver or passenger?

10mpg x $7 gal. Fuel is the one thing I'm short on!
Well maybe pay with the blood of you enemies.... seriously though I looked through my advantedge domes for a passenger side one and found three in varying conditions. These are getting harder to find, I paid too much for a NOS clear set recently.

I have three:
#1 is in good shape, $50 shipped
#2 is in ok shape, $35 shipped
#3 is in "plug that gap/hole" shape, $20 shipped

#2 looks about like the rest of mine: let's go for it! Would you like to ping me over email for a paypal invoice? Whatever works for you. I'm at emok66@gmail.com.
