surely it cant be illegal... it can only make the rear of my car more visable, and its not bright at all so it wont blind anyone!

and wen i do brake, like u said rob, it still lights up as normal!


i hope i get this sorted out!

I thought it looked pretty cool having it like that, but I don't know about the legality, having a 3rd tail light would be safer you'd think?

wat u mean?

it is only subtly glowing when the the lights are on (with engine on) and when u brake it still lights up very bright!

so it still works just as good!

Agree with 3rd Brake light, I posted up not so long ago, Ive changed my Stop/Tail Bulbs to LED, and the 3rd Level light does light up but still comes on brighter when the brakes are applied. I think it looks ok

James on the Mondeo i have used 1ohm resistors on the Brakes and indicator that stopped the problem with fast flashing lights and 3rd brake light glowing
