2013 Center Stop Light Delete ?

[ALLEGROAE]

We installed a spoiler shortly after delivery and I did disconnect the center stop light via the wiring harness.

Now what I would like is a "delete" plate to take the light OUT and cover the hole. Any suggestions?

Thanks ahead.

I'm not aware of any plates on the market to cover the hole. However...

(h) Any supplemental stoplamp installed after January 1, 1987, shall comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 (49 C.F.R. 571.108). Any vehicle equipped with a stoplamp which complies with the federal motor vehicle safety standards applicable to that make and model vehicle shall conform to that applicable safety standard unless modified to comply with the federal motor vehicle safety standard designated in this subdivision.

A deleted or non-functional 3rd brake lamp is reason enough to be pulled over and cited, according to the California Vehicle Code. Unless the spoiler has a brake lamp on it, you might want to pay attention to this as a heads up!

Thanks downedzephyr, but I guess I left off the fact that the wing (almost the same height as the CHMSL) also has a brake-light. I don't think that this car is in ANY violation based on motor-vehicle mandates.

I am just wanting to remove it and cover the hole.

Thanks again though.

OH since the wing has a brake light you should be in the clear then.
