Jim, I went back through Mike Patterson's research papers and found that the original installer mentioned a Cunon Five-O rotating light as what was originally installed in the MN SSPs above the 3rd brake light and above the rear view mirror. Is that what you have?

yes that is the exact light I have. Hard to come across. I cannot imagine how it would have been installed above the rear view mirror though... It would be easy to velcro it to the top of the third brake light on the package tray. This one is red and works. It has a magnet on the bottom.
I can send you some pictures if you want.

I think this may have been the light they had trouble with before they switched to the dual dash-deck self contained 8" x 2" halogen red/red lights from Approved Technologies (since bought by Sound Off inc.) out of Hudsonville, MI. I don't see how the 5.0 light could be used above the rear view mirror either. I think I will try to find the dual halogens to replace the Sho-Me triple stick LEDs that are on the car now. Thanks for your help, Bob

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.

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)!
