  • a first housing having an enclosed interior, said first housing having an aperture extending therein, a peripheral flange being attached to said first housing and extending around a peripheral edge of said aperture, said first housing being comprised of a translucent material;

    a coupler being adapted for removably attaching said first housing to the antenna, said coupler having an upper end and a lower end, said lower end having a bore extending therein, the antenna being removably extendable into said bore, said upper end of said coupler being removably positioned in and frictionally couplable to said flange, said coupler being comprised of a resiliently elastic material;

    a light emitter assembly being mounted on said upper end of said coupler, said light emitter assembly emitting a light when said light emitter assembly is turned on;

    a first control being electrically coupled to said light emitter for selectively turning said light emitter on or off;

    a second housing being removably attachable to said vehicle;

    a sound emitter assembly being mounted in said second housing, said sound emitter assembly emitting a plurality of sounds when said sound emitter assembly is turned on;

    a second control being electrically coupled to said sound emitter for selectively turning said sound emitter on or off;
