well here its like any car made after 1990 i think has to have a 3rd brakelight kind of defeating the purpose


i mean our cars have 4 taillights, how can you mistake them braking?

 

lol no kidding. in wa we dont have that law, 3 brake lights... sounds pretty stupid to me too. should be a law for the difference in lighting when braking or something to that effect.

 

It's a Federal law, not state.

 

i followed a car teh other day and the only rear light on his car was the highmount/third brake light. haha. stupid guy. I caught him at a stop light and yelled to him that they were out. he went "Yeah, been like that for a while". Guess he was just waiting for someone to plow into the back of him and put his POS out of its misery.

 

ive always thought it was state...wierd

 

likewise. there are tons of cars without them here.

 

I was more concerned with the 5 giant holes in my trunk than a 3rd brake light...it looks clean without the spoiler BUT those holes are eye sores.

 

^+1

i just went to the junkyard and picked up my third light from some audi, sprayed painted it black, works like a charm. might look a little ghetto from the inside, but keeps me from getting a ticket just fine!

 

Yep, any car manufactured after 1985 must have a third brake light (1986+)
