that is the exact light I have. I had to grease it to get it to work correctly but it flashes fine. It is definatly old school.

I've done some of closeup evaluations in Photoshop CS4 and I'm coming up with a rectangle in the shot although the curvature of the windshield gives a slightly rounded oblong light effect to me like the 5-0 light but to me it's the rectangular light. So I can say that the back light is the rectangle halogen light for sure.

I think you are right. As Jim said, I don't know how the 5.0 light would attach above the rear view mirror. I could set it on top of the radar unit whose top is about level with the bottom of the windshield (5.0 light has magnet on bottom that would stick to radar case). I think i'm going to go with rectangular front and rear (dual halogen, self contained, about 8" x 2" in size). Thanks for your help! Now to find a pair of the Sound Off inc. series 28 with twin red lenses (E28DBB).

Maybe if GSPI can email you the closeup he has looked at in his Photoshop you can email it to Sgt. Jay Sletten to see if he has any ideas. Better yet if their shop has one lying around somewhere not in use.

I got a call back this morning from the Midwest Regional Sales Manager for Sound-Off inc. and he is going to check their demo room when he gets back in the office tomorrow and see if he can get me a pair of the lights I need (he said they were discontinued 4 years ago). Wish me luck (I'm not holding my breath)!

From the photo of the gray SSP, do you think you could calculate the position of the door decal from the rear (or front edge of the door)? I have a decal coming in 6 weeks and want to get the positioning right the first time (don't want a $125 mistake). The distance from the top of the door molding to under the window trim is real close to 12.5", if that helps. Your help is greatly appreciated!
