The Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (P-71) is the police equivalent to the civilian Ford Crown Victoria. The P-71 was introduced in 1992. Production of the P-71 stopped in 2011, after Ford replaced it with a police version of the Taurus. The P-71 was the police car of choice for many North American law enforcement agencies due to its powerful V-8 engine and body-on-frame build. After P-71s have been used by law enforcement agencies, these vehicles are sometimes sold at auction. Usually, these vehicles are stripped of police accessories, like the side-mount spotlights made by Unity. Sometimes, though, purchasers may have to remove them on their own.
Pop the hood of the P-71 and remove the spotlight's wiring from the battery. Do this by removing the battery cables with an adjustable wrench and then taking off the spotlight connectors. Reconnect the battery cables when the spotlight wires have been disconnected.
Unscrew the collar by hand and then remove the set screw beneath it with an open end wrench.
Remove the wedge screw on the handle with an open end wrench to remove the handle assembly.
Loosen and remove the clamping screw with a flat-head screwdriver and remove the light assembly from the mounting bracket base.
Remove the screws holding the mounting bracket base in with a Phillips screwdriver.
