    Your profile says your 14, what do you need it for? (If you don't mind me asking)

    Anyway, check ebay, Galls.com or the Fire Authority. They sell them.

    I'm getting one if I graduate with A's and B's haha. I'll help look for one. What type do you want? I like mini ones since they come/go off/on easily. You could get a siren for that low but... it might be sort of old one lol.

    Alot of the ffs in my area use blue "bubble" lights. They run about $30. I hope to get "on" a volunteer station in a few weeks when I turn 16.... but my mom is'nt all that supportive of the idea. So I have also been looking. But we cant run sirens for POVs Sad nor are we suppose to speed. But I have found a few LEDs for about $80, but they were a little 6x2 rectangle to put on your visor.

    try elightbars.com they have a used section that might have what you want. but depending on what you get you might have to alter the go carts electrical system (halogens use Alot of power and i think you have t get a separate power supply if you go with strobe). Sirens are a different animal all together. you need to figure out where to mount both the siren and the speaker (you need to mount the speaker in front of you as if you mount it overheard that will cause permanent hearing damage). and if you get red or blue lights or use the siren on a public road that is grounds for an Impersonating a Police Officer/ Firefighter which is a felony in most states. But it does sound like a cool idea

    Your best bet's probably ebay. You won't get lightbars that are red from standard providers, due to laws.

    you can probably go to galls too. they sell the whole 9 yards. lights, uniforms, sirens and some less lethal weapons. and the best part is i dont think they check ID. i think they might still sell some halogen minibars

    It's an off-brand siren made by WOLO with Hi-Lo, Wail, Yelp and a high pitched machine gun (I think) that I use for the phaser. The other ones are car alarm like noises. With animal and music sounds it's really cool!

    Seriously? The Met mainly use the cat siren in the inner cities with lots of traffic, dog when there's less traffic and they use a duck to clear intersections, with a cow to add that extra noise when needed.

    I will tell you the best light out on the market that I have seen is called a Power Arc. It is based out of St. Louis. Search it on google or see my You Tube videos at
