Sorry if this the wrong thing to post here, but as so many of you seem to play with Ex-Police cars, I`m hoping you can help me out.

Very good mate of mine has just aquired an Ex-Police BMW and he is looking to restore it to its former glory. Trouble is that he cannot locate the blue lights for the front, nor anything that seems suitable for modification to make them appear correct.

He is after the fairing lights of either this style:



or this style



and this is what he has to work with




There are also a few other bits and bobs that need sorting, and was wondering if anyone has any good contacts within the Police, or any pointers of where he could start looking.

Thanks for your help

US ebay

Things do occasionally pop up here, but tend to cost more and be in worse condition.

Also, there's a reseller in Lowestoft, Comms PMR/usedpoliceradios... Holds a monthly auction of all sorts of ex service electricals... Caveat emptor though, as all is not always what it seems... ie a box pertaining to be one thing might only be superficial and you have no comeback as it's all sold as seen. US supliers seem to be more reliable in this regard imho

Find a police garage(workshop) who did/does motor-bicycles and ask the question

Might be worth a PM to joshwyatt to see if he has useful contacts. Probably won't have, but worse he can say is no

[Dave DND]

Who is joshwyatt and what is his background ?   

I`ll know what i`m asking then

The Top pic, looks like the Blues are Bulb type, the Second pic looks like Strobes above and Bulbs lower, most of the Bulb'ed Blue's would have been replaced with Strobes, followed by LED's these days.

What type is he exactly after?

Seek etc...

Second link, although seemingly pricey, should have most of what he needs

Looks like it will do the job, plus some bits left over,  cant see the pics that well as on the Mobile, but your need the Strobe Inverters to suit, does that look like it in the Pic with the top box.
