Has anyone ever tried installing one of these?
I wonder if they qualify as a 3rd brake light so cops don't bug me if I remove my spoiler and its light :xyxnervou
Legally in the US they might because the third brake light must be equal to or higher then the left and right brake lights. And at least on the coupe looks pretty close to equal to me.
I'm not 100% on this but I don't think you need a 3rd break light to be legal. All you need is two, left and right. Some older cars don't even have them. Now if you had one and lets say it didn't work a cop may be a **** and pull you over for that. However if you don't have one at all it shouldn't be a problem.
oh no, I'm planning on removing my SI wing with its rear light, and install a mugen wing since I like its looks. Just researching what I can do to reduce my risk is all I'm pretty sure a cop will pull me over for that ahah.
I'm actually more worried about being rear ended than being pulled by cops. What if someone hits me in the back (hypothetically), can the insurance say they don't owe me a dime since I removed the rear light, which they can argue as a hazard?
Hell no! They won't do anything for your aftermarket parts of course. IMO the plates you have linked here look a lil cheesy to me. Maybe they look better in person. I saw in another forum where a guy installed one in is rear window. Dunno how that would look with the wing though. I think if your car is going to have some work done to it people prolly won't miss you at all......they'll be staring. If you get them post some pics for the rest of us 8th that may like em.
Gotta have the 3rd brake light, driving without it is just as silly as taking the spare tire off to save weight..
