We’re talking1964 police spotlights here. I was told by a former police officer ,not from that time period. Police spot lights were flashing red on the curbside & steady clear on the street side. Red to notify the driver to pull over and clear to illuminate the street side for safety once stopped. I ask because I’m working on a police bike and now is a convenient time to wire the relay back into the headlight shroud clip. Of course wiring would run parallel with only the red lamp passing through the relay. Any input before I wire this in?

Only that spotlight color, placement , and flashing pattern varied from state to state and in many cases city to city, etc. There wasn't a standard placement. Viewing of old photos will show you many variations including the Cycle Signal post mounted revolving light.Robbie Knight Amca #2736

Much appreciated. I’ll likely run the red lens with the flasher on the L/H lamp and simply control the illumination with its individual housing switch. I’m city driving for the most part so just running the R/H spot is more than I’ll ever need. Just wouldn’t want to make any enemies in the PD. Thanks again

Final assembly of the nacelle (at least) was left to the dealer!
(That should blow Judge's minds.)
