so i want to get rid of my wing but theres a problem, in ny we must have 3 brakelights. i was wondering if anyone knew a way i could do this

 

Get an Evo rear deck lid brake light...or there are generic/universal ones everywhere.

 

Or get one of those trunk lip spoilers with LED lights in the middle

 

would a lancer es without a spoiler not have a third brake light in the window?

 

Yeah i was going to say to pick one up from an ES

 

I believe the ES / EVO third brake light unit is the same piece from mitsu.

 

do i have to do any rewiring or anything or just setup the mount on my rear dash?

 

no theres another plug It should plug right in

 

hmm i should look into that and checkout my local junkyard

 

just get one from the dealership its actually pretty reasonable i got the evo one from them. the only PITA is i believe you have to do some cutting in the rear deck to install it, idk i had a friend in the shop do it but it looked like a real pain. but definatley get one asap because i went without one for a while and i ended up getting a $50 ticket for it.

 

yeah that 3rd brakelight law is kinda stupid

 

I run no 3'rd brake light on my lancer in summer cause i took my stock oz wing off for a evo wing. no cops have given me issues about it and ive had a few right behind me through town. when i went to get it inspected they failed me on it though so I put my oz wing/stock trunk back on for winter.

 

i live in a small town where the cops give people tickets for 55 in a 45

 

really? how rude of them!

 

Not really. On older cars, it's hard to tell if they're braking or not since their brake lights aren't always bright. Third brake light is like a verification that, yes, they are braking.
