I am hoping someone can point me into the right direction. I am looking to outfit my Series III with emergency "blue" lights. I am a rescue diver here in Newtown CT with permits to use. I have been looking to see were I can locate a source in the states or UK to set up the truck. I have seen a bunch of images online with them and it would be great if I can keep it all "Land Rover" spec. What I am hoping to locate is a light bar which would sit on top of the safari top, a few lights on the top rears.
Thanks...
Here is a image that I am referencing 10537

Have you tried amazon?

I am sure you can find all you need there or on ebay.

a quick search showed that most series rescue trucks didn't have full on light bars. Most fire apparatuses and rescue trucks had one or a few blue strobes.

this is the only truck I found with a light bar:

If you were looking for original rescue Land Rover lights I would look on eBay.co.uk, otherwise I would make something to look original with low-drawing LEDs from amazon or eBay.

I'd reach out to the guys on the Series 2 Club Forum: HERE (http://www.series2club.co.uk/forum/forum/). Even though you have a S3... they are pretty a pretty forgiving bunch of blokes. Many on there have well sorted fire, road service, special purpose vehicles.

Good luck!
