1five3 has a nice setup with is 93 MO. Maybe he'll post pics or I'll see if I have any. He runs the cable through the passenger door frame and has a quick disconnect plug mounted on the passenger side headliner.

That is more what I am looking to do. I will have the front glass trim with the fake cables on it for the show but still route the lightbar for show only use inside that way it can be removed and transported in the vehicle when on at the shows.

I know Roman has his setup something like that too. Nebraska just ran the antennas for the CB and the scanner up the driver side winshield trim and the passenger side windshield trim was the lightbar/siren...

If you have some pics that would be great...

My suggestion...

Mount the lightbar permanently. First...Jetsonics are heavy to take on and off. You run the risk of damaging some part of the car or lightbar if you drop it. Try getting some poor quality yellowed domes that aren't cracked...prime and paint them satin black...and letter those with Not In Service if desired. That should cover you legally. They are easy to change out.

The cable goes down the passenger side A pillar. The wire clips can be bought at Home Deot..I have extras if you need them. They were originally riveted I believe. I removed my lightbar on the NE SSP due to NH new lightbar law. I now run Federal Signal deck strobes.

Matt,

+1 for the quick connect, if you are going the DD route.

David,

I saw your post on .org about the new "permit" law awhile back, but blue lights in your state (display or use, whether lightbar or not) has been on the books for awhile.

It looks like the new Saf-C 3215, for inspections and permits, makes a distinction between non-emergency and "warning lights". There's a good explanation of it here:
http://www.nhostservices.com/notices.html

"Emergency lights" (red and blue), per Saf-C 3215.02, can only be on authorized emergency vehicles.
http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/Rules/saf-c3200.html

(2) Blue lights and white or clear colored strobe lights for:

a. Law enforcement vehicles;

b. Police cruisers; and

c. Private vehicles of law enforcement officers, in accordance with the requirements of RSA 266:74, II.

It looks like they are really cracking down there.

You are correct...(sirens are illegal too) but for hobbyists...as long as lights were covered and inoperable ( I always remove the fuses) it was not an issue as they were not exposed. This was a ruling I got directly from DMV Highway Patrol and the DMV Director. I was a former NH DMV employee as a member and Chairman of the NH Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board (Lemon Law ) and that was a big help.

The new Rules are part of NH State inspection. As such..the mere installation of the lights, operable or not irregardless of color, will not allow you to have an inspection sticker unless you have a permit. That makes the car undrivable on NH roads. I appealed to the DMV Director...and she informed me there are no exceptions to the State Inspection Rules.

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.

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