Streethawk/MX7000 reverse rotator

Looking at the Vista, one of the things that I actually like about it, is that the rotators rotate opposite of eachother. Passenger side has the outboard standard speed going clockwise, with the fast inboard spinning counter-clockwise, and the driver side has a fast inboard going clockwise, and standard outboard spinning away counter-clockwise.

Can the streethawk or mx7000 do the same?

Most of the MX motors have a solid wire from the ground terminal to the outer casing grounding the motor to the lightbar frame. By disconnecting that you can solder on a new lead. Swapping the polarity of the wires will reverse their direction. Not sure if that effects motor longevity but the Stingray lights in my LP6000 move both directions. It appears to be the same standard Code 3 motor in the LP.
