Emergency Vehicle Light Colors

Being that we deal with USA and international colors, we would like to know what colors your state/country uses. Do the police light colors vary from town to town? Does EMS/fire have different colors than police/sheriff?



Here in New York City, NYPD and FDNY use a mix of red (primary color), white and amber. The back of their LED lightbar has two amber modules (one on either side) that actually is covered with a red lense (but still produces amber). There are two white halogen rotators that also function as takedown and alley lights. The Crown Vics have two red/white LED deck lights facing the rear.

FDNY has a mix of red/white on their forward facing lightbars with red/amber on their rear bars. Most of the other lightheads are red.

Please post a comment regarding the colors used in your area...we will add it to this post.
