Security light? (*peter)
I believe the cowl lights (the round spotlights) on the front of the car have been inserted the wrong way into the frame… that they should be inserted on the outside edge rather than the inside edge.

Rotating lights, emergency light? What's the damn name of that thing?

If we're talking the sort of stuff seen on police cars which are on the front and back of Ecto-1 and Ecto-1A, then they're usually referred to as ‘barlights’ or ‘lightbars’.
However, unlike Ecto-1 which had blue coloured ‘domes’ on over rotators that had clear coloured bulbs in it's barlights, Ecto-1A had coloured bulbs (or clear bulbs with filters over them) in its lightbar rotators and actually had clear ‘domes’, so his are accurate.

yes i know, and it bugs me, but when I had the whole rack done, and got ready to put them on, the spots for them were on the inside(the little grooves) and I guess thats how mine was built, bc there is no way to put the main rack part on backwards or inside out, so when I tried to put them on the outside they fell off. this car is not perfect, even the red and clear dome thing on top has no place to be glued, so I had to hold it in place. its still not bad.

I'm not sure I follow… the loops on the front of the roof rack where the lights are meant to go have holes in them where they'd be glued in.. I wonder if maybe your model wasn't drilled properly.

thats pretty much what Im saying, the holes that those lights fit into are on the inside, trying to glue them where they should go would have been hard to do.
I dont know if that helps….
