Sounds like a quick-disconnect may be the way to go for you then, also (or just trailer everywhere).

Why is NH so hung-up on the lightbars?? I don't think I have ever heard of a police impersonator mounting one on their car. The light inside the car is what they usually prefer.

It's not just lightbars....any red or blue lights.

This is the hole I am talking about putting in the passenger side door jam.



This is a picture from a Tx-DPS ssp I sold a year ago.

OK I was wrong on the location of the wires... They run up the upper roof door chanel piece.



I guess I will need to see what I can do for this.

What were thinking installing the cable like that? Were all TX cars done that way?

No... The driver spotlight will have a clear lens..I'll change it for shows. The interior rear decks will have the lights covered at all times and fuse removed. That will get me by.

There are two reasons for this law as I found out. One is a police impersonation a while back. And correct..it was with a dash light. The other reason was...shall I say...a political one by the DMV Director..as a result of an incident with the Director herself. Can say more here.......

Yes, all lightbar cars had a hole there for the wires to come through from the interior.

Matt,
You brought up a point I did not see in pictures. In the ORG picture gallery I looked close at the 86 Neb with four troopers standing and saw a cable, probably for the scanner antenna, going down the drivers side. Another picture of a 90 Neb on a bridge shows rivited holders on the drivers side. The picture of a 93 Neb parked with the fender decals don't show any cable on the drivers side also the picture of the one 93 Neb that NSP has in their warehouse shows no driver's side cable. I gather 86 thru 90 had antenna cable on the driver's side. Just a little info you got me to look closer. I'm still working on a better routing and disconnect for the passenger side on my 93 Neb.
