Just FYI in Michigan you aren't required to have a working 3rd brake light. As long as the other 2 are working correctly. Unless there is a Federal 3rd Brake Light inspector running around lol. I haven't seen one. We don't have vehicle inspections so that's not an issue. People can spout all the federal laws they want but if your never going to get a ticket for it... *shrug*. I'm waiting for my 3rd brake light from UPS today. I think it's safer and a smart idea. But the real reason for doing it is I feel my car looks ghetto with it not working. But that's me. Do what ya want in Michigan. Michigan being close to Canada don't try that there, homie don't play that in Canada. Which is surprising considering how many other things they are lax on. Verified with my local cop shop and the Michigan State Police.
