Awhile back I bought a convoy light from Coleman's Surplus in PA.
I got a mounting plate from Federal Signal (searched their website), mounted a pipe flange on it that would mate with a PVC pipe connector and a long
PVC pipe. I put a cap at the bottom of the pipe and drilled a hole for the wire to exit the pipe. I mounted the unit on the cab rear (holes already
there) with 3 muffler clamps. The wire runs under the cab and then up to the dash where I mounted the switch. Works well, especially at night when
towing a vehicle or in a convoy.
3 photos of the convoy light job are at the following web site until 7/28/03 (space limits):

I have been told there are no problems with using a yellow warning light (properly) in Colorado. Best to check for your state.
