A heads up if you are crossing at Buffalo and plan on taking the 407etr toll=
 road. If you are over 11000 pounds (5000kg) you must have a 407etr transpon=

hat was for commercial vehicles.
 I assumed wrong.&nbsp; I about crapped when I got the bill in the mail. In a=
ddition to the tolls, that weren't cheap, there was $150 in camera fees.&nbs=

I ran for YEARS without a rain light, as several others from the States 
has done. I have never seen a car get black flagged if it starts raining 
and no rain light is on.

Eventually, I did wire rain lights as Phil describes, simply installed a 
switch and ran a wire back to my OEM tail lights. The parking light 
circuit on standard 1147 bulbs is all you want and need.

Please don't overthink this, guys. If you don't run in the rain, you 
certainly don't need a rain light.

You do not want a super bright lights that will distract your 
competitors, or as Tony G found out at Lime Rock, you will get black 
flagged because somebody thinks your car is on fire! (I wish I was 
kidding...)

Last year at MoSport, tech took it very seriously that I did not have a
functioning rain light (or factory running lights).

The inspector had to call over his boss, a special note was sent to race
control, and then I had to promise to remove myself from the track if it
began raining.

Needless to say,  I have a nice little LED lamp to install before heading
up for the Kcup this year!
