The Lightbar - Blue is the row of warning lights mounted on the roof of an emergency or service vehicle. It marks such a vehicle out from ordinary cars on the road.
This page covers every lightbar colour. The Lightbar - Blue, Lightbar - Red, Lightbar - Red and Blue and Lightbar - Yellow share the same stats and differ only in look.
A vehicle with a lightbar is easy to pick out in a parking lot. That helps when hunting for a police or service vehicle and the gear such vehicles carry. The Mechanic is the best occupation for vehicle maintenance. It starts with the most Mechanics skill.
How to Use Lightbar - Blue
On a vehicle, the lightbar is part of the roof. It stays fixed to the vehicle it came with.
As a loose item, a lightbar is a heavy piece of salvage. It weighs about as much as a car door. Carrying one around rarely pays off, so it is usually best left where it was found.
