Bob and List,
Has anybody checked the legality of a flashing 3rd brake light? If my
ol', med riddled mind serves me, I believe, at least in CA, they're
illegal. Or maybe you just couldn't have the standard brake lights
flashing. That comes to mind from JCTaylor selling them back in the
'50s & '60s.
