Those were effective lightbars, but with the penalty of a high amperage draw. Other than the broken lens, yours appears to be in very good condition. If you check the motors closely, you may still be able to read a date, this date would be within a month or two of the actual manufacturing date for your PSE Code 3 SD bar.

Whats ironic is only 3 bulbs were the GE7400, the rest were 4464,4416 and a 4411. The ironic part is i have an nypd aerodynic that needed bulbs, so the 4416s and temporarily the 4464 is now in my aerodynic.

now to find the remaining 7400 bulbs (crying yay lol)

You may spend as much on replacement bulbs as you did for the entire bar.

thats what im afraid of.......but even if i find used bulbs i’d be okay with it, all its gonna do is sit on a shelf anyways
You can knock off 3 amps by simply using 4416 bulbs (30 watts) as opposed to 7400 bulbs (35 watts). 4416's are still commonly available.

Where I live, that used to be the standard ambulance light bar colour combination. Red on the driver's side and clear on the passenger's side.

Here in Virginia, when clear was first approved for Fire and EMS vehicles, Twinsonics would be set up with a clear lens on the driver's side, one clear and one red bulb, red lens on the passenger side. All-light PSE Force4 XL and LP's usually had red outer lenses and clear center section.

Ironically on the ear side it was setup up as red/clear (red clear on one rotator and then the same on the other rotator)
