A fun memory from the distant past when NJ inspection rejected my 3CV truckettte because the tail light was centered above the rear doors. I suggested that this arrangement was no different then that of many wreckers who had their light at the end of the boom. Then we got to the headlight aiming. The inspector said it was off. Since the French, aware of the high compliance suspension, made the headlight height aiming adjustable, I asked the inspector where he wanted it. Wrong again! Luckily I was able to transfer the registration to NY with its gas station inspection system which could be remarkably compliant.

I tend to agree. Has there been any evidence that the high-mounted brake reduced rear-end collisions since implemented in the mid-80s? It just smacks to me of "feel-good" legislation. If the driver behind you is more focused on his hands or the dash, does yet another light in front of his face going to make any difference?

A noble endeavor, but do you really think it will help protect your rear end and that of the car's as well? If the driver behind you isn't paying attention to what's ahead of him, an extra light might not help. Of course it couldn't hurt. After having the front end of my car seriously rearranged by a driver who ran a red light while texting, I'm coming to the conclusion that the proliferation of electronic devices both hand held and on the dashboard puts everyone in greater danger.On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 10:21 AM, bstromsoe@yahoo.com [diesel_mercedes] <diesel_mercedes@yahoogroups.com > wrote:After having been kissed in the rear end, I have decided to install an after market brake light in the rear window of both cars. Any of you done this? The installation is not a problem; I am just wondering which of the various brands out there fit and worked best, and which ones to avoid.
