this reminds me of my brothers reverse lights. He couldnt pass inspecting because they didnt work, so he just cut the wire and took the whole socket out, . he passed his inspecting because the law says they must work if there is a socket or something like that.

a 92 cherokee isnt a passenger vehicle. its considered a multipurpose vehicle, the terms they used before SUV was popular. a 94 cherokee has one on it.

Well I figured out what I'll do... the solution was so simple... no need to shave the 3rd brake light... just get a blackout for it.

So you're finally going to paint the ass end black?

I like this new path you're taking in modding the Z06. And it all started out with the removal of those dumb ass lights.

My old civic hatch didnt have a 3rd brake light and the inspector looked it up and the rule said if its on the car it has to work if its no sign of anything ever being there then you can pass.
