Modular lightbar system and method

A lightbar assembly connector for connecting transversely a first lightbar assembly to a second lightbar assembly without having to remove or move the first lightbar assembly or the second lightbar assembly, said lightbar assembly connector comprising:

• a major surface;
• a first connector having first and second receptacles, each having a conductive external terminal therein extending in a direction transverse to said major surface, wherein said conductive external terminals are disposed along a first axis;
• a second connector having first and second plugs, each having a conductive internal terminal therewithin extending in a direction transverse to said major surface, wherein said conductive internal terminals are disposed along a second axis, said second axis being transverse to said first axis;
• and
• wherein said lightbar assembly connector is releasably connected to the first lightbar assembly and to the second lightbar assembly by moving said lightbar assembly connector in a direction transverse to said major surface of said lightbar assembly connector without removing or moving the first lightbar assembly or the second lightbar assembly.
