>The 3rd brake light might be necessary to get properly inspected,
>and it's a good safety feature. Leave it alone.
This has been debated before. No study has shown a third brake light to prevent rear end accidents, and my cars (an 88 and 92 9K's) were originally designed and shipped w/o 'em. And hey, I could make a case that the CHMSL blocks my rear vision ;) The original CHMSL on the saabs looks kludgy and bolted on as an afterthought (maybe because that's what it IS) I have already done it for aesthetic reasons anyway, not for the three pounds :) if somebody rearends me, that's their problem, not mine. you can't even tell the car had a CHMSL on it in the first place after you remove it and clean off the goo, I would be very surprised if anybody would even notice if there ever was an altercation (knock on wood)
There are no annual safety inspections here in California (a short trip on our freeways will confirm this).
So hey, before i get flamed, take a rear three quarter view of your 9K and imagine it without the third brake light. it really cleans up what is kind of a busy back end.
Commence flaming.
