High Mount Stop Light

Recommended Posts

My high mount stop lights are out, bulbs are ok. All other rear brake lights, blinkers, etc are fine. Wondering if there is a separate fuse or relay just for the high mounts.

Another curious question-When I drive without the high mounts working, is that a violation? Or are the high mounts an added safety feature only-not a requirement? Just wondering....

Thanks

The high mount stop lamp is required by the FMVSS. This requirement was put in place in 1986. If your high mount lamp is out, they can give you a ticket just as if one of your other lamps was out. But, I have never heard of anyone getting a ticket for this. I would imagine you would get a warning instead of a ticket.
