^^ yeah im in Pa and my dad is an asst. chief. And its illeagal for anyone with the exception of chiefs to run sirens.

I found this info in regards to NJ they are ball breakers so be careful Paul
Some states, such as New Jersey and Pennsylvania, limit volunteer use of red lights to chiefs and captains of squads.New Jersey:

39:3-54.10 Placement of motor vehicle, types of lights.


4. No more than two emergency warning lights shall be installed on a vehicle. If one light is used it shall be installed in the center of the roof of the car, or on the front of the vehicle so that the top of the emergency warning light is no higher than the top of the vehicle's headlights, or in the center of the dashboard. It may be a low profile light bar of the strobe, halogen or incandescent type, or a combination thereof. If two lights are used they may be placed on the windshield columns on each side of the vehicle where spotlights are normally mounted, or on either side of the roof at the front of the vehicle directly back of the top of the windshield. Under no circumstances may one light be placed on the roof and one on the windshield column in the spotlight position. Light elements shall be shielded from direct sight or view of the driver.
L.1977,c.223,s.4; amended 1979, c.71, s.3; 2005, c.218, s.3.

39:3-54.12 Rights of motor vehicle with emergency lights in operation.


6. Nothing contained herein is intended to grant to any member of a volunteer fire company, a volunteer first aid or rescue squad or a volunteer Office of Emergency Management any privileges or exemptions denied to the drivers of other vehicles, and such members operating emergency warning lights shall drive with due regard for the safety of all persons and shall obey all the traffic laws of this State including R.S.39:4-81, provided, however, that the drivers of non-emergency vehicles upon any highway shall yield the right of way to the vehicle of any member of a volunteer fire company, a volunteer first aid or rescue squad or a volunteer Office of Emergency Management operating emergency warning lights in the same manner as is provided for authorized emergency vehicles pursuant to R.S.39:4-92.
L.1977,c.223,s.6; amended 2005, c.34, s.4; 2005, c.218, s.5.

Is that a piece of unistrut in the 4th pic?

firemen are not allowed to use red. they can have blue or white only. red indicates police. the firemen emt lights are more of a courtesy than anything. state laws do not require public to pull over for you.

as for the only 2 lights, and no led's.... thats odd. 99% of the lights sold are LED... and i doubt anyone will screw with you for that...

Vince im just saying thats what the LAW says so do it at your own risk

yeah i know but thats the same as people driving with their high beams and fog lights on... that is illegal use of lighting as well but most cops arent going to mess with you on that @!#$.

absolutely , had to bump the siren back a couple inches so the bumper would clear, worked perfectly

and as far as the law, NJ blue light law is aged, i think its from when they used horses, basically you cant have anything more then 1 candle power, all the cops know it is BS, i have a blue light permit, do i violate it? yes, everyone who has a blue light does because the permit states the light cant be over 1 candle power, and as for the siren, we arnt allowed to have any thing other then an air horn, but of course i have everything but only use the air horn...unless the situation arises that i need to get some where in a real hurry.
