Here in Pa blue is vol firefighter lights you dont even have to pull over for them they are the same as amber. Red is fire chief n undercover police red n blue are police. If we had lights on our vehicle going to other state we had to put out of service cover on them. The vehicle code kinda says anyone can have them on the vehicle its when the are turned on you face issues unless on pvt property ir a car show
I mean.. yeah its not legal but whos pulling over an ecto-1? Who would want to be hated for towing it? How would that court case even go? "Sir you are here for cop lights on your car.." *exhibit A your honor. a picture of the car..* "have a good day sir."
I know. I worked at a recycling center decades ago, and we bought this stretcher for 15 cents a pound. Found one of the screen-accurate ones for sale a few years ago for $450. What would you do?
Police cars of a certain age are being sold in Finland, the coloring has been spared, the name has been removed. some company figured out to put the word bandit on the side. so we have a cop and a robber of the same color. from the point of view of the law it's illegal, from the police's point of view it's funny. the law requires the police to sell used equipment for reuse, but since state funds must be saved, they are not painted white in order to avoid the risk of making a mistake as intended by the law.
You can buy custom snap-on blackout covers for the lights. Police dept. mechanics here cover the light bars when driving out-of-service units for test drives.
Take the correct light bars off the 65 and put them on the 60 that 65 is already not the correct car anyway so put the not correct lights with that one and the correct ones for the 60. It's common sense. Your dad's wrong.
Why bother building an Ecto-1 if you can't get the real car? I mean, you don't see any BTTF fans turning a Fiero into the "DeLorean," do you? To me, it seems like a waste of money.
Technically in Michigan any modification to the lights from factory original is illegal... its just selectively enforced. So its illegal if it bothers a police man who wants an excuse to arrest you.
No lights are illegal. The use of private property is not a crime. What is illegal is declaring a false emergency, which is something police officers do every single day on duty.
It is only illegal if they are operational and used. If they are used in a parade or special event while stationary they would be legal. They are not legal on the street in any event unless authority having jurisdiction allows it.
red/blue lights are legal to have but NOT legal to use..... however 99% of all LEO's wouldn't do anything so long as the lights are used for the effect of the prop.
My mean comment: I am not a car guy, it looks like ALOT of work to even get to where you want it. It's your project, but seems a shame to get a car that close to the right year and style and make it an AFTERLIFE car and not they 84 car. 🤷 But seems like alot of work, but good luck in your projects.
the blue lights on the road NO not allowed by law only police (Red for FD) (Yellow for D.O.T) so no lights like that if not within department's. fact: Bill Murray (Peter) Said in Q&A that they just drove around NYC with lights on talking about how they ran through a few red lights walked into random stores with all the gear saying ''The cops looked at us and I mean we had wayyy cooler gear than them and the car'' so yeah the scenes with the ecto-1 headed down NYC are real shots of them just speeding around the town passing stop lights and things fact 2: Ghostbusters 2 the ecto 1A was so top heavy the ending scene where it shows them driving to the museum art place to stop vigo for a final battle. on that curb turn it shows the car on 2 wheels for a short time. that's real as it almost tipped over many times due to them using ALL REAL 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance's I saw on another video people talking about some of the cars being props in the movies. No All 4 movies with the OG cast used real 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance's
I just found this on RU-vid and I just wanted to say that it was nice to see proper remix of the Ghostbusters thank you for making this. I would love to see a second movie
but the lights are not cop-blue, they're like a ocean-near-the-shores-blue, and not even the nice-looking near-the-shores either... though as car lights, it still works.
Well, it's going to vary from state to state as to whether you can run them or not, but just having them there isn't really illegal. The main thing is so long as you're not impersonating law enforcement or emergency services, you're fine. I know Minnesota let's you run certain colors of lights that aren't legal to run other places as part of a construction crew/tow truck/plow type deal. ( You find blue lights on tow trucks here all the time. When I first moved here it threw me off, as I had never been to a state that allows this before ) - I've heard some lawyers say that flashing lights in blue or red or both are illegal to own, but that's not what the actual law says - I got bored and looked it up. So anyway, yeah, just don't run them except maybe at a convention when the car is just being used as a display.
Yes I'm a volunteer fire police member if your an active volunteer then you can run blues. But if your at a show you San run. Do not use them on the road. As long as you don't have a fully marked replica police fire or ambulance your good but don't worry your good it's a movie prop car a anime thing your good bro
Laws can vary some from place to place but generally it is legal to have any colour lights on your vehicle as long as they are not turned on & usually even if you do have them on, as long as you don’t have both red & blue together (which is what the police use) it is generally in most places legal. So, if you just have blue lights & not red & blue lights. You are likely in the clear but check your local laws.
It's not illegal to have the lights. It is illegal to turn them on in anything other than a car show capacity or on private property. Normally the law is for a combination of red and blue lights
