Page 71/73 (of the PDF - 306 of the actual document) states the requirement of a third, red identification light mounted as high as feasible on the rear of the vehicle. Apparently it is not required to have a brake light function, mearly a running light function.

But the third light must be there.
- X

P.S. - However, in vehicles where one brake light serves as a turn signal, it MUST be a brake light in order to fulfill the 2 stop lamps requirement.

P.P.S. - it has been brought to my attention that most CHMSLs don't have a running light function - for this I have no explanation. I can merely state that I am NOT a lawyer, and not qualified to interpret any laws. But... theres the full text if you want to read through all of it.

P.P.P.S. - FOUND IT!


You da man. lmao

But, I seriously didn't know it was a law. I mean I guess I just never thought about it. Nice work. lol
