So I've read...The CHP convinced LAFD for a time that amber was more effective, particularly on the freeways.

Thanks, I hadn't heard that. But they never used it themselves, so far as I know...
What's interesting is that at least a couple of Departments in California I know of still use amber on certain rigs, such as Orange County Fire (and maybe Riverside County) on their water tenders.

Has anyone seen this in person yet??
It's speculation that the truck is most likely at the dealer getting prepped before delivery.
People complaining about spam in the spam mail box... Huh, what'll they think of next?

Oh yes, it's a brow light, I couldn't see the lens in it at first, so I didn't realize that's what it is. Thanks!
