Although 360 viz is the reg here as well, this service attached to dignitary protection (our national Secret Service of sorts) usually don't bother.
As for the grille lights... it seems to depend on the car. The gov installers seem to never have figured there were pattern selectors or synch wire... Depending on the car, it's either split or both heads flashing together !
Despite the lack of side and rear warning, this is still one of our best and most recent type of car and install.

It's actually pretty amazing that it has grille lights to begin with.
As for the split flash pattern... Baby steps. One step at a time. They might add a set of rear warning lights by about 2020 or so... no split flash by about 2035...

Cheap shot !!
But true though... we are far behind our British neighbors.
But it might get better faster than you think...
See this 2011 Renault Laguna for instance.... It's getting there !!

Hello again !
No it's not.
Just an impression as all other windows + hatch glass are heavy tinted.
Same on this one .... Even the front windows look dark although they are not tinted at all.

Well, it's getting there slowly... 5 years ago an unmarked had a two-tone, a halogen teardrop and an illuminated "POLICE" sunvisor.
It's stil the case with most precinct plain wrappers and CID cars.
Some units (especially the ones covering Dignitary protection... Our version ofthe Secret Service if you will) are getting new cars and more "fancy" (for France!) equipment.
Intersection warning hasn't made it yet, but we start to see blue rear deck LEDs here and then on dark blue official government cars with tinted windows. Sometimes even corner LEDS in white have been seen, but it's still very seldom, such those two units upfitted respectively by Eurotec and Maxie Avenue :

I like the illuminated POLICE on the sunvisors- I got a couple good pictures of them when I was in Paris in 2007. Glad to see that the lighting overall is improving as well.
