3rd Stoplamp - CA

[Zigner]

For what section? Since the third light is not covered under CVC 24252 (at least not that I have been able to determine), it can't even be issued under that section for failure to maintain required lighting devices sonce only TWO are required - the main pair.


They have to apply a code section, and I am not aware of any that exists for that middle light.

I did find CVC24603(h) which states:
Any supplemental stoplamp installed after January 1, 1987,
shall comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 (49
C.F.R. 571.108). Any vehicle equipped with a stoplamp which complies
with the federal motor vehicle safety standards applicable to that
make and model vehicle shall conform to that applicable safety
standard unless modified to comply with the federal motor vehicle
safety standard designated in this subdivision.

However, I was hoping you'd answer, Carl. You're the go-to guy for the realities of this sort of thing
