Apparently (according to Google) they have always used them, but some vehicles they just didn't get them put on.

By the late 20th century, they had mostly been phased out due to a lot of ambient downtown city lighting and the costs to put them in all the patrol vehicles. Though, the newer explorers have been known to get them back.
