light bar
Emergency vehicle lighting is one or more visual warning lights fitted to a vehicle for use when the driver wishes to convey to other road users the urgency of their journey, to provide additional warning of a hazard when stationary, or in the case of law enforcement as a means of signalling another driver to stop for interaction with an officer. These lights may be dedicated emergency lights, such as a beacon or a light bar, or may be modified stock lighting, such as a wig-wag or hide-away light, and are additional to any standard lighting on the car such as hazard lights. Often, they are used along with a siren (or occasionally sirens) in order to increase their effectiveness.
In many jurisdictions, the use of these lights may afford the user specific legal powers, and may place requirements on other road users to behave differently, such as compelling them to pull to the side of the road and yield right of way so the emergency vehicle may proceed through unimpeded. Laws regarding and restricting the use of these lights vary widely among jurisdictions, and in some areas non-emergency vehicles (e.g. school buses) and semi-emergency vehicles (e.g. tow trucks) may be permitted to use similar lights. These non-and semi-emergency lights are also discussed here. Research into the usefulness and potential dangers of these lights is also presented.
Emergency vehicle lighting is a sub-type of emergency vehicle equipment.

I drunkenly bought a 4ft LED light bar on ebay. It supposedly lights up in different colours.
Now that it has arrived, I have no idea how I am supposed to connect it - and I suspect it may be intended for commercial use.
I don't really know what I ultimately intend to do with it - but now that...
I'm installing an LED light bar and can't find a suitable power source for the relay coil
I have all the parts I need and enough know-how otherwise I would buy a plug and play harness
The high beam power in this car is sent straight from the stalk switch to the lights (no high beam relay).
