I think that this type of lighting works well in the dense, city streets this vehicle responds in. It can be difficult to be seen, as you all well know. Esp when probably 4/5 drivers are on their cell phones in this day and age. A good siren or two and lots of lights helps. Plus, if the person who owns the car is willing to spend all that money on lights, who cares?

And I think you are in denial. It looks ridiculous and it is embarrassing to whatever agency it represents.
Just come to the Sullivan County Catskills and all summer long you will see the excessive lights on hatzolah povs, as well as their (some not all) reckless driving and blatant misuse and abuse of their red lights. As well as the wanna bes!
Yesssss. The two middle light heads, but across the entire bar. It would be perfect!

If he ditched EVERYTHING on the roof it would be pretty slick actually... picture it exactly as is without the roof rail lights or whatever they are and without the top bar... but keep the ILB... and maybe fix the split fail on the lower grill lights
I think it needs a Q mounted on the hood with a Roto-Ray sticking out of the front of it. You minimalists just don't see the possibilities.

Ive never ever seen another agency in NY with that many lights. Plus lets be honest, the hasidic look doesnt necessarily scream task force. The guy is either hatzolah or shomrim or some other hasidic volunteer group which is basically the same thing.

I think we have found the owner!!!
I disagree 100%. If someone can't see (1) lightbar, (2) single head grill lights, (1) set of intersectors, and a headlight flasher and hear the siren, they are not going to see or hear that coming either.

What is wrong with this lightbar? Some of the leds look to be burnt out, and then there's 2 different colors.
TritonBoulder47 said:
Huh? I was simply telling the guy that it IS Hatzolah or an equivalent. What did I say wrong?
FollowingNFront said:
Yes, and this vehicle has been posted on this forum multiple times and each time it was confirmed as a Hatzolah vehicle... I didn't say you said anything wrong... Just that it has been covered already...
TritonBoulder47 said:
Funnily enough I think I saw this same vehicle following a big yellow Hatzolah Freightliner ambulance today on the highway.
TritonBoulder47 said:
Lol I well I couldn't stare at it for too long. Smoke started coming out of my retinas.

The two center rear lightheads.. thats what wrong.
My point was, since the OP's video shows that the owner of that SUV is a wacker, he would probaly try to add a light bar on top of what he already has. To make it even worse, he'd use a light bar covered in split fail.

And that's where I will defend this member. u say that looks embarassing in a place like that. id rather have that show up than a beat up half running piece of crap that should be in a junkyard. I don't care how many lights r on it its at there discretion on what they put on it. I don't care if it looks like a rolling Christmas tree its not the lights that matter its the job they do that does.

A vehicle like this creates a hazard on the road. Whether its rolling or stopped. Blinding people is no good. They'll end up doing more of that job of theirs if people end up crashing either trying to get out of the way of the UFO, or trying to see at night while driving by it. Less is more in this case IMO. I live in NYC.... You don't need all those lights big city or not.
ISU_Cyclone said:
I don't understand what could be embarassing about a well-lit vehicle like this. Where they respond in high-traffic areas where it's hard enough to get through as it is, you need all the light and sound power you can muster.
The days of getting by with a single beacon and a small motordriven siren are long gone!
Repetitive.YES..! But
There has been a UFO Sighting in NYC Last Night, Confirmed...Its a shame the Commentary was not better from Majesterium!

OMG REALLY???? WOW!!! A very rare emergency ambulance service vehicle?!?!? AMAZING!!!
Before I even clicked on the link, I just knew it had to be that same guy that starts all his vids off with his "chase dog" tribute & usually sounds like Bubba with a lisp when he talks.
That vehicle has so much POTENTIAL & the owner clearly can afford to pretty much mount whatever he wants, so he honestly could've shipped it to Louisiana, had Cajun turned it into something stellar that rivals the bat mobile, & shipped it back to NY for the amt he wasted here on an absurd amt of lights. This vehicle is well-known on ELB already, so I'm not gonna get into specifics of what I'd do differently here

I still don't know how that guy wasn't stopped & stripped of his DOH permit to run lights/siren...I don't know if the owner is just so obnoxious or just plain stupid; 99.9% of law enforcement agencies in NYS do not have blue & red on their sides, so what makes some VAS member better than everyone else?
I know of a police chief in my area that had an extensive R/C setup in an unmarked Denali with 1 blue grill light, and word is that even she was told she had to get rid of it by Feds when they were in town doing a local detail. I'm sure parts may have been left out as it made its way through the grapevine, but I can tell you that a week after that guest from DC left, both grill lights in the chief's Denali were red. I wouldn't be bothered if a LE vehicle had a minor addition of blue on the front or sides, but when a private citizen decides that he can overlook the clearly-stated law, that bothers me.
