Like a lot of States,they're illegal over here too.
I followed my buddy back from a show a few years back(he had blue dot '50 Pontiac lights) on his '52 AD.
We got caught in heavy rain on the way home and I have to admit,it was tricky to tell when he was braking.
I have to admit they do look cool though!
I suppose it would be an idea to fit a 'discrete' 3rd brake light as extra insurance.
