The spotlight was black when I purchased P-162 from David P. He told me it was black when he purchased it. I don't know if it got a re-paint or replacement between the MSHP and David. When I took the car to MSHP HQ in 2009 Capt Jamerson (original trooper assigned) stated that he had painted the spotlight himself.
That spotlight had always been a mystery to that point as all the other known '90 models had chrome spotlights. SOOOO a new mystery begins - when (if ever) did that spotlight get a re-paint???????
