Default txdps lightbar help

hey fellas, i found a lightbar that i think will work with my tx car but i need to be sure. it is a Code 3 LP6000 , red and blue filters, 4 rotators, take downs, side alley lights, and flashers front and rear. most of that is incorrect according to the in service pics but it can all be rearranged with the right filters correct. also, the siren housing has different cutouts. i have also wondered about the mounts being for a different application. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Ted

it is the one in the center

Ted,

Odds are..the mounts are wrong. I'd PM Mustangretriever, as he knows a ton about these bars and can also get you the correct mounting brackets.

It's the right line, but I'm not sure on the specifics. Maybe one of the TX guys on here can help (in addition to what Eric tells you).

Tom says I need a 47" and the seller claims the lightbar is a 48" off a 2000 crown vic. and will still fit. I'm gonna assume this is incorrect for my car.

Same thing, on the LP's, some call it a 47", some refer to it as a 48". $100 is probably a good price if comes with good internal parts, they are easy to reconfigure/wire. If it's a well used lightbar then 100 is too high, ask for internal photos with the lenses off or look at in person. I'll send you more specifics later by PM.
