I like the different-colored lightbars that were used for the Ecto-1 of Ghostbusters II. Don't get me wrong, I still like the blue lightbars that were used for the Ecto-1 of the first film, but I like the lightbars that were used for the Ecto-1 of the second film better because they're more colorful. I am aware that 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Futura Duplex cars aren't easy to come by nowadays, but if I were fortunate to come across one in good condition on the outside and inside a little rusted some that someone wanted to sell at a fair, reasonable price, I would definitely buy it, take it off of their hands and convert it into my very out film-accurate replica of the Ecto-1A down to the last detail and I would used the Haynes Ectomobile Owner's Workshop Manual to have something to go by.
blue and green light bars were reserved for ems in the northeast states or most adopted back in the day that color some with amber for ems volunteers. always thought that was cool they used that for the original movie.
realy cool videos! i am a die hard ghostbusters fan and i realy lapreciate it to be able to see this lightbar in closeup! thank u! any tips where i can get me one of those and/or ecto 1! not that i could ever affort me an ecto 1, but i would like to have this iconic lightbars for my room as a display!
Didn't realize I beat you to it lol. I have a video on here with Ecto 1 light bar, then the Whelen and XL bar. I got two blue filters to swap out the reds for the rear bar too
You didn't beat me lol.It's been a while I have that XL,Just no time to make a video :-).I saw all your videos on your channel and you have an AMAZING collection!I saw too your Ecto1 & Ecto1-A bar few weeks ago.It's a very good job.I have too the blue filters for the rear bar but I prefer this configuration.Keep going!you have an awesome collection ;-)
Hello just wondering where do I get the blue green and amber filters I've got the red but the other colors I can't seem to find trying to get my ecto 1a bar finished
Where can I find the 6 light code 3 rotary beacon like this? My son and I want to build a Ecto 1 since im just about done restoring my 82 DeLorean. Also you mentioned the green filter is hard to find?
That's a gorgeous lightbar the reason green and blue were used in the lightbars in the original Ghostbusters was had they used red and white they would've faced penalty of law because of the lighting codes for New York only emergency personnel and equipment can have red and white in the city were it was filmed so they opted for green and blue and Amber instead
I'm afraid not even if they were making a movie the authority's would not be happy law is law and the only way that would fly is if they were on a Hollywood movie set if they were filming in New York city like they were they couldn't do that movie or not does not change the fact they had to obey the law
Yeah, that's not how it works. You are aware that movies are filmed on location rather than just in Hollywood, right? Emergency lighting laws don't apply on movie sets. The NYPD has an entire movie unit that is dedicated to helping movie companies film on location. Your logic makes no sense whatsoever, since there are plenty of movies that use NYPD cars in them. They aren't real police officers, so how are those cars allowed to use red and white lighting? What is your source that says they would have gotten in trouble if they would have used red lights?
Also, green wasn't used in the original Ghostbusters movie. The lightbars were all blue, and, as a matter of fact, the first Ecto-1 did have a front facing red warning light.
I know. i really can't believe that Harold Ramis is really gone. he was 69 when we had lost him. this can't not really be happening to us. i knew that those guys are getting old. Dan Aykroyd is 61, Bill Murray is 63, and Ernie Hudson is 68. and it will probably be Ernie Hudson next, then Bill Murray, and last Dan Ayroyd.
Those were the three colors on the forward XL: (Amber-Red-Green-Red-Green-Amber) Then of course there was the aft XL: (Amber-Blue-Green-Green-Blue-Amber)
I have always Loved that lightbar from Ghostbusters 2, Best lightbar video on youtube. !
Thanks :-)

Awesome video, Best combo from any Emergency Vehicle in a Movie.

When I'm from - RED Lights are Fire Vehicle's, BLUE Light's are Police & GREEN Light's are Security Vehicle's.

If you still have this and the strobes are they for sale. Whats the name of the strobes? I love this video and we watch it all the time.
thank you Christian fo your message.My bars are not for sale sorry.The bar with the stobe is a Whelen Edge.
👍💯.
Where did you find the green filters for your lightbar?
Ordered from Code 3 few years ago.hard to find now...
u can make them out of stage light green filters.
I found some on Fb market place
Do the rotator's have the black gears or are they the old style where you could put the black gear on the motor for a faster speed? DJ
They have the older gears.It has all white now.Black ones would make them fast.
Where can I find the 6 light code 3 rotary beacon like this? My son and I want to build a Ecto 1 since im just about done restoring my 82 DeLorean. Also you mentioned the green filter is hard to find?
To be honest I don't Know...?On eBay maybe?of try on Elightbars.org.

They wouldn't have gotten in trouble. It was a movie.

How much are we talking to find one of these in working condition plus finding the correct filters?
$$$$
whats the collectors price on those.
amber red and green?
+Jarrett Buffington The back lightbar of the Ecto - 1A alsop had amber, green and blue lights.
Those were the three colors on the forward XL:
(Amber-Red-Green-Red-Green-Amber)
Then of course there was the aft XL:
(Amber-Blue-Green-Green-Blue-Amber)
What do you use to power your lights?
I use a 230V/13,8V 60amps Power supply.
Pawsome!!!!! =^.^=
Geiler Scheiss 😍💓👍
