Big Trouble?
 

How much trouble can I get into if I put a fire truck light bar on top of my hhr?

you might get into a LOT of trouble actually. Depends on local Law Enforcement. Could be a big NO NO for impersonating an emergency vehicle.

Thats what i was worryied about but they would never be turned on and may not even hook them up to power. I'll have to do more research and see.

According to Illinois Vehicle Code (625 ILCS 5/), you can't have the lights even unlit:

(625 ILCS 5/12?215) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 12?215)

Hmmmmm

Appears you could use amber though.

Yeah but its not the same. :(

I'll have to check about the blue lights. I'm a vol. firefighter and I might be able to something like that.

hey find my city about that too thats a good find

The cops have never found my police lights. Got everything except the light bar on top. Perfectly legal, I think.

I think you will be oaky as long as your not driving with them on. You could put them on at gtg's tho. I say go for it...
