New LED tail lights 69 Cuda
First, let me apologize for my message yesterday. When defending our products I sometimes become overzealous.
In regards to Federal Laws, SEMA released an article titled "Lighting Equipment Advances & Government Regulations." In this article they explain what measures need to be taken to certify lighting equipment:
NHTSA does not "certify" or "approve" products. Compliance with NHTSA regulations is based on self-certification by the manufacturer. This means that the manufacturer of regulated equipment must exercise due care in performing whatever tests, studies or calculations are required to satisfy itself that the certified items comply with the regulations. The manufacturer's self-certification is then passed along through the distribution chain. Certification is automatically implied when a product is offered for sale, since the law prohibits a manufacturer, distributor, importer, dealer or motor vehicle repair business from knowingly selling equipment that is not in compliance with the FMVSS. Certification is also affirmed through marking requirements such as NHTSA's rule that certain lighting equipment be marked "DOT."
As you can see, we don't have to send our products to some company to have them tested. Any reasonable person can see our lights are brighter and provide an instant on response time. The advantages of a brighter tail light are obvious, but the response time makes a difference as well. At 60 mph that instant on response time means you could stop 18 feet early.
Thank you for showing so much interest in our products,
Sebastian
