Third brake light (clear)

I found the white 3rd brake light on Ebay Germany for 99 euros plus 15 shipping, about 150 dollars shipped.
The search was under "3 Bremsleuchte sl". Seller was "mb schaefer".

I didn't think white brake light would be legal here in US. but i also dont spend
my time boning up on all the hoop jumping needed to stay in compliance

...that may be, just as there are as many/more who eschew the front plate
requirement. here in WA the brake lighting can only emit amber or red.

The center brakelight is an OEM Part for the 2007 SL55. I don't think it's illegal. (I live in WA and have it on my car, it emits red of course.)

so long as you have a red bulb, you'll be fine...just has to emit a red color

Anyone have any pics of the clear center brake light?

I just purchased the rear left and right brake lights - but not the center.

beneath ....or the silverized bulbs with amber filament. duh. when it was
written as 'white brake light' instead of 'white brake lens' i just didn't get it. tnx!
