OK, I had the larger spoiler put on my 13 XKR. I hooked all the wiring back as directed. Does the spoiler light work when the driving lights are on or only when the brake lights are on? Any help?

Thanks

It’s a third high vis stop light only.

 

Excuse me but I know I have been to college for 13 years with two degrees but what does " third high vis stop light only" mean. Thanks

People are idiots, and don’t notice that the traffic ahead of them is stopped, or can’t differentiate between a taillight and brake light intensity, and slam into stopped cars, the government mandated that a 3rd brake light be mounted higher up and be highly visible.
That’s what the light in your spoiler is, a high mounted, high visibility brake light.

 

Joe, you asked if it was a brake light or operated with the driving lights and I provided the answer, it’s only a brake light. I’m not certain what more you expect it to do.

EDIT: Also congratulations on 13 years of university and two degrees, but no idea what that has to do with your question….

 

Sorry, I did not know if it was a driving light and a brake light. Thanks for all the help

CHMSL


It's a Center High Mount Stop Lamp
Mandated by the Feds since I think 1986??? Forty five years and I'd think it'd be common knowledge by now.

 

I used to be in the auto lamp business and that is exactly what we called it, a CHMSL.

And yes, all cars for Canada and the US have had these stop lamps since the 1986 model year.
