Biggie - Not a big deal, but actually the CHMSL is not required by law.

It is required to be included by the auto manufacturer, but the majority of states' codes say you must have at least ONE red light that illuminates upon braking as well as display red lighting (visible from x feet away) when driving after dark.

So removing the CHMSL is no biggie, biggie.

Ah ok. I'm used to here. If the car came from the factory with a 3rd brake light, it must always have a 3rd brake light.

But cool for you.

are you sure thats the law down there?

my moms ex-boyfriend lives in the Durham area and he took his 3rd light off of his car and never had anything said to him

theres nothing legal about having a 3rd brake light on your car, it was just an add on from car companies after research proved that it was a huge factor in stopping rear impact collision....if some states requires to keep these on some cars thats definetely something not to "brake" the bank over it....

Technically I believe there is a law on the books. But I doubt it is ever noticed. People I know who do inspections know about it. But no one ever pays any attention to 3rd brake lights.
