You only need to stick your head out of the window and scream...low pitch so you are period-correct.[/QUO

AWRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrr(no brake) :yes:

 

[dmathieu]

How could this not possibly be the winner? Dietz Juniors first came out in 1898. 1898 to 2012= 114 years!


That's too bad...... I really wanted that S-74......

 

[JohnMarcson]

The contest isn't for oldest.... necessarily...

 

[Reno911]

Here's my first contributions!! Took these just a while ago.


1979 NYPD Aero on my 97 Crown Victoria(and videos!!). Pictures aren't the best, it's getting dark and it's raining.











Videos








Second, 1979 Cheetah. I had to put it on backwards so the wires could enter the passenger side(where I can tap into power/ground). I also had removed one of the bulbs for the NYPD bar.





Videos








Then,


2009 Crown Victoria with the same lightbars





The NYPD really looked good imo. Looked at place on a california car











Still have a couple lightbars to stick on a camaro and these crown vics

 

[nerdly_dood]

Now that '09 Crown Vic with the Aero is sharp. :thumbsup:

 

[Reno911]

The price I pay for sticking the NYPD on my car....


(flash made paint look wierd).

Next time, use a thick towel to slide the bar across the roof of cars 'til it gets the other side. No scratches will occur and you can remove the towel and adjust the lightbar accordingly:thumbsup:.

Nice, Nick. When I get a chance, I need to get some pix of my '74 GMC VanDura ambulance with the twin juniors on top. Some of the guys on the jr. beacon thread were wanting to see it, too.

 

[Captain4164]

This actually looks good enough it makes me wish I could really do it!!!!

 

[Firefly Berlin]

Here's a nice combo.


My California Dietz beacon on a 2012 Audi Q5.


Next week I'll show you pics on a then brand new 2013 Renault Scenic.

 

[Richard P]

I just rememebered I put a 1977 Dominion 2 or 4 beam, cant remember beacon on my 07 ford for plowing. If I had a blue dome for my round top at the time, I would have used that since it reached over my lightbar.

That looks so ridiculously good. Wow.

 

[PinballCharlie]

That looks so ridiculously good. Wow.

That DOES look good... Of course, its a DIETZ One of my all time favorites!

 

[JennyCop]

Firefly berlin,


I agree with Lotsofbars and Charlie, it looks great on that Audi! :thumbsup: Pretty crazy!

 

[stansdds]

I'm a big fan of Dietz too. :thumbsup:

 

[Skip Goulet]

Ditto! The Dietz 211s were always popular here in West Texas. My favorite was the 211-WW (their version of the 'hill light') that we had on a couple of our ambulances over the year. The last time it was used, it had a blue dome with all clear bulbs. It was mounted up on the hightop of our '70 hightop Suburban ambulance. One night we were responding on a fire call in our part of the county, and I was lead vehicle. Somewhere along the way we lost the dome off that light, and the units following were almost blinded by the clear light...especially the downward facing bulb! Well....at least it was seen!

Illegal in Ca, unless you are an approved emergency vehicle

 

[CrownVic97]

I finally got back to Hazen and took an hour or more on Christmas Eve to pose my plain jane Crown Victoria with all my sealed-beam beacons and lightbars. Had to take down and put all this stuff back carefully during that time! There's a few that I personally like, but since each old-on-new is a separate submission, I'll let you all make your choice on what looks the best .


Tripp-Lite RF-63








Dietz 211











KD 888








Fed Sig 176 Beacon Ray (recently aquired)








Federal Model 11 Twin Beacon Ray








Fed Sig Model 12X TwinSonic

Mother of GOD my jaw dropped open. That light is worth more than that car.

You have to try and catch this one in action! A video would be great!

 

[Reno911]

Contest ends tomorrow at midnight Pacific time? Right?

 

[JennyCop]

Here are my last minute entries! We have seen Federal Signal, Code 3,Whelen, Dietz, NAS, etc.. It is time for some Mars products on this thread!!! :yes: Enjoy!


I even added a little gold star for more realism! lol Mars Skybolt, Spectrasystem, Can lights and Speaker on a Dodge Intrepid and a Toyota Prius.

 

[Reno911]

Might not get any more submissions in unless we have tomorrow as well. Have to look at first page again.


Here's a whelen 8000 on my dirty vanilla ice GT

I count 44 submissions. Not the 100 John was wanting:undecided:

Shouldn't the red to the back be amber to meet CA spec

 

[Firefly Berlin]

To meet CA spec it needs to have flashing amber to the rear.


That is the purpose of the amber PAR 46 on the left side of the beacon.

 

[JohnMarcson]

That's not 100% true. CA laws recommended and allowed amber to the rear, never required it. But yes, 99 out of 100 times CA setup means steady burn front, amber flashing rear.

 

[Firefly Berlin]

Ok, thanks for the heads up. I always thought it would be required.


As promised, here are the pics of my brand new 2013 Renault Scenic.


The Dietz fits almost any modern car very well, the Twinsonic looks a little bit out of place. :dielaugh:

 

[JazzDad]

Is that Jet cut down?

Yes, 6 inches removed. Otherwise it would have been hanging out over the sides. (I really should show the 'no-holes-drilled' mounting, too.)

Firebeam? :yes:
