Extra unused rear light

Post by NickC »

Anyone know what the unused rear light between the normal rear/brake and the reversing light is for? Mine are not connected to anything.

While on the subject of rear lights has anyone thought about an additional flashing center LED brake light?

On the SD1 it's the tail light (ISTR they have separate tail and brake lights)
