CERTAIN VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE "VERTICAL GRADIENT" AND "HEADLAMP PHOTOMETRIC VALUES" REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, 'LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.'
THIS STANDARD IS TO REDUCE CRASHES, INJURIES AND DEATHS BY PROVIDING ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION OF THE ROADWAY, AND BY ENHANCING THE CONSPICUITY OF MOTOR VEHICLES ON THE PUBLIC ROADS SO THAT THEIR PRESENCE IS PERCEIVED AND THEIR SIGNALS UNDERSTOOD, BOTH IN DAYLIGHT AND IN DARKNESS OR OTHER CONDITIONS OF REDUCED VISIBILITY.

I OWN A 2006 INFINITI G35 AND JUST LEARNED THAT MY CENTER HIGH MOUNT STOP LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE BEGUN TO RESEARCH THIS AND DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON AMONG CARS SIMILAR TO MINE. I KNOW THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING RECENTLY AND I HAVE SEEN IT ILLUMINATE RECENTLY BUT NOT ALWAYS. THIS CONCERNS ME FOR THE SAFETY AND REPAIR PROBLEMS, AND FOR THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAFETY EQUIPMENT. *TR
