If you read the whole thread, you would realize that there ARE concerns. The largest one being the potential liability of the intended user. When you are sued by a texting soccer mom in her SUV, and somehow a statement of not seeing your brake lights being on (regardless of the truth) leads to an investigation of them, and they are deemed non-compliant, who is responsible for the legal costs and potential settlement cost? At least if it were partially true because the dim old 1157 was just that, at least my insurer would cover me, my car, and the other driver.

The explanation I posted earlier states that the manufacturer take full legal liability for the products they self-certify.

Vehicle owners and registered vehicles are regulated at the state level, not by the Federal standards. Some states' vehicle codes contain requirements that include the Federal regulatory text, usually by reference. And states are NOT permitted to have codes more stringent than the Federal code -- a vehicle or item of regulated equipment manufacturer-certified as compliant with all applicable Federal standards is street-legal in all 50 states, period. For example, the Federal code permits rear turn signals to emit red or amber light. A state, therefore, cannot require that rear turn signals emit only amber light (or only red light, or only green light...). However, states are free to regulate the use of vehicles, so a state would be entirely free to prohibit the use of fog lamps under any circumstances, for example.
