Hey guys,

one question, what do you think, is it obligation to have blue, red or other flashing, blinking and Strobe lights on the ectos roof?

I want to decore my Landrover to an ecto when we drive around at halloween and for cons. Normaly its my dalydriver.
In Germany every type of such lights are forbidden, only for Firetrucks, police, ambulance etc.
Not for private cars. So is it ok to boild an ecto without that light?
What do ou think about it?

Best regards
Erik

If its just for fun, go nuts.

If you want to build a replica, you should repliicate at least a few things. Check out the "What makes an Ecto an Ecto" thread.

Can you have them but not hooked up? I couldn't see an issue with the housings.

I think even in some States you have to cover them up when you're on the road.

yeahh... you can buy them but not build on your car legally.
i know this are stupid rules but its germany.
I think a replica should be a US Car, a Cadillac too,
I have a LandRover Defender and would like to use it as "ecto" for cons and halloween etc..

Do you have a roof rack you could bolt it too or something when you get to the con? Remove it when you are driving?

[Maverick1983]

yes i have a roofrack. at the con its no problem with the lights.
But how looks it like when there drives an ecto (on the way to the con) without that lights.. that was my question. what do you think about that?
My opinion is: it looks stupid. other hand: what should i do when the law says NO WAY with that lights?
I wont build such a big roofrack like the real ecto. there are many things were the German law is against.

I only wished to have the decals and the lights.. so now it seems i will have only decals...

[Chace]

If by law its only gonna be stationary...meaning you cant drive with the lights on it at all...Id say do a removable rack and light system and use magnets instead of decals.

otherwise just get used to driving it with no lights.

[Maverick1983]

magnetic...
My Landrover Defender is made from Aluminium but thats no Problem... the doors are steal

ok, so i think i try to build in hidden flashlights and the decals... pictures here will follow
