Dear Dealership OMGWTF.
So question to all: I have a 2012 WRX. When I purchased my car I had them include the OEM spoiler for the STI and it's installation. Now during installation they are claiming that I have an issue because I'm removing the 3rd rear brake light and left with only two. I believed them until!: I looked at the 2011/12 WRX STI Sedan and it has only 2 rear brake lights. So I used the good old google machine and found this:
PA STATE: http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms/pub_45/section_e.pdf
FEDERAL: Lamps and reflective devices. - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
So I called and said, "only 2 lights are required, one on each side, a certain height above the ground etc." They told me, ya.... it's a grey area because if the car comes with 2 tail lights its ok but if it comes with 3 tail lights you can NEVER have less than that. That would be illegal.
I have browsed State and Federal requirements for a bit now and NOWHERE does it say that. Am I crazy? Help ###! Or is there a link to a section stating that?
Thank you for any/all help,
Thepants
