Any one run one? Is there a "proper" location on rear bumper?
I really don't want to put 3rd brake light on, I think this was a dealer option. |

Well, looks like this bad boy could still get you hassled in Illinois unless you wired it as a brake light. I was sitting with my thumb up my ass waiting to get a case called in court this morning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) , and I read through the lighting section of the vehicle code. 625 ILCS 5/12-212 says you can't have any lights on your passenger car that are not expressly authorized by the code. In reading the whole lighting section, I don't see anything that could be read as authorizing a seperate brighter red tail light like this. But, if it was wired to come on with the brakes, that would be expressly authorized as a part of the requirement of " a stop lamp or lamps", and unlike the tail light requirements, it expressly "need not be incorporated with other rear lamps."
Nobody wants to give the police an excuse to stop them if they can help it. Use this info as you see fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
