Have you ever seen these? Period correct, still in production, and probably fill the same function (as the dimensions look pretty close). These are Code 3 halogens, BTW.

Approved Technologies now owned by Sound Off, best I can tell, here is what you are looking for:

Nice work, Greg! Subtle difference from the Code 3s, but even better if they are the original "Approved Technology" design.

What do you think, Bob?

Too short. Mike Patterson did a lot of research on these (with a member of the Minnesota Highway Patrol) and they both agreed that what Mike ended up having installed was closest to the original. Thanks for the research though,

LEDs cannot possibly be closest to the originals, FWIW. Totally different levels of light output and technology that wasn't invented yet.

Personally, I'd go with the halogens that Greg posted; even if the size is a little off. No one would really ever know the difference. Everyone, however, will immediately know that the LEDs are incorrect.

My .02.

Code 3 makes a triple hologen light similar to that. There's (2) on ebay HERE.

They have amber lenses, but you can find different lenses on elightbars.org. You could probably find that light there as well.

So the halogen light has to be 1-15/16" H x 15-3/4" W x 1-15/16" D in size?

Seems large width wise to me for halogen but I guess if that's what you guys measured that's what it is then.
