Well as i see it and know that yes back when it was built they only had one tail lite No turn signals and one brake lite No license plate lite . Yep all legal back then . OK fine , but today with total idiots running around driving what ever looking at there fancy hand held phone-computer texting why not just add some more lites to it and be done with it . Light it up like a Christmas tree . Put brake lites on it that they can see from mars add in a plate light that they also can see from Mars add turn signals and even a midship one half way down the bed just to make sure that the nut case that is sneaking up on the blind side can see your turning IF HE IS LOOKING and not on his phone. way back when i was a pup i helped my uncle install turn signals and more lites on his farm trucks because we were now farming further and working more into the night . we had to make them bright so they could be seen thru all the blow by of them old Chevy and Dodge trucks . we even put TWo tail lights on the potato wagons pulled behind the tractors . Now that was HIGH TECH FOR BACK THEN and the plug was just and extention cord two proung plug and a reg. light switch that you would use in a house . Lighting on any tyep of car, truck, tractor, combine on the road TODAY is important . But people still don't see you . Back when i first started plowing snow i just used the four way flashers , Well one early morning while clearing a gas station .I was finishing up and backing out onto the street to clear the enterances . It is 4 AM snowing really hard there is nobody out yet just me and this one COP . Here he come Barny PFIE lights going siren going and broad side into the lot . wrote me up for no 360 degree warning lights . Fifty two doallrs for the fine ( and i could not find nothing in the Ohio revised motor veichle code ) My dad and EX State cop could not find nothing either AT THE TIME and that point brought up before the judge carried no weight , paid said fine and went out and bought the brightest 360 degree rotary light i could find and mounted it . Next snow storm at same gas station same COP about same time stops me once again and complains that my light is blinding him. Informed himi did what he told me to do and i paid his chump charge fine and now he will have to either live with it or i will see him in court and this time i will not come alone . So what you can do is get yourself a hand book copy of your stated revised motor viechel code and set down and read it cover to cover and then you can go to that and say well here in this here book it says . I carried a copy of it while i was doing the coal bucket thing because by one state bear in my area you as a coal hauler wer a CRIMINAL the moment you steped into that truck and he hated Coal haulers .
