Hey talking about scratchbuliding , I've used those somewhat semi-transparent colored toothbrushes (remove the bristles). for lights and not just on police cars, i've made lights for planes, boats,trucks, etc.. the brushes can be cut up to suit what size one needs ,

I have heard of people useing the transparent colored plastic silverware before. For the lights you can use some little plastic jewel type things available at a craft store.

Scratchbuild them! Scratchbuild them!!!!
Even if you don't use them, I would give it a shot just to see what you could come up with... I bet they would be pretty easy to scratchbuild.....Smile [:)]

Does anyone know of any place to get police lightbars? I'm trying to build up a Oregon State Police 1994 Chevrolet Camaro, but I'm finding it difficult to find the lights. Any help is most appreciated!
