Police Spotlights?

Any idea if the police style pillar mounted spotlights non specific to the squarebody will work on one?

Agree, my '79' C-30 had two at one time. (former municipal truck in an early lifetime). When I got it the spotlight on the passenger side remains and the driver's side hole is plugged.

Re: Police Spotlights?

Trench, I have dual Unity spotlights on my truck. They are not a universal fit. Go to Unity's web site for specific application information:

http://www.unityusa.com/


They are legal in California.

Re: Police Spotlights?

My C50 was a fire truck before, and had one on each side. The hole was actually in the roof, just above the pillar, though. You might think about that location. PM me if you'd like a photo of the hole location, etc...
