Third brake light w/ Club GTR Combat kit - Hyundai Performance Forums

Racer X · 04-12-2003, 03:32 AM

I'm planning on ordering the Club GTR kit for my 2000 Tiburon by the end of the month but this one question has been nagging me. What is the bodyshop going to do about the third break light?

Right now the brake light is mounted in the spoiler...

I was thinking about buying the OEM one for a Tiburon without a spoiler and having that mounted by Huyndai. Does anyone know how much that will cost? Or how long it would take?

Are all these questions stupid? Can I drive around with (dare I say it) two brake lights without getting the police in a huff?

Thanks in advance for your time:]

there are plenty of cars out there with only two brake lights i dont think it would be a problem at all

By law cars have to have the high mounted brake light

Well what about all of the old cars on the road that don't have one?

I would be very surprised to see the cops pull you over for not having a 3rd brake light seeing as there are tons of cars on the road that don't have them, and none of those have ever gotten a ticket for it.

The third brake light is likely a government regulation that all new cars be manufactured with one, but it is not included in the traffic laws as it would automatically make every car older than 15 years old (give or take) illegal to drive.

Woohoo - I just hit 100 posts 8D

Thanks for your imput. I guess I'll take a chance. See what happens. Couldn't be worse than a fine right?
