I’m always amazed in this group when people want to remove safety features.

No one said they wanted to. Asking yes or no if someone has.
Hmmm… how many of you have removed your “legal and safe” yellow side markers and changed them out for clear! Not so safe ? Dark tinted window where the brake light is barely noticeable! Not so safe ?

Why would somebody do that anyway??
After 1986 when the rule kicked in Porsche vindictively retrofitted a little periscope brake light on the US 911s. Many owners removed them, which was easy. Of course now the lights are integrated.

The yellow side markers still have a yellow light in them, it is just the cover is clear.
I tend to agree about dark tinted windows, I hate them though so not a problem for me.

The most dangerous thing I have noticed travelling the world for work is places where it is legal to have red rear turn indicators which leaves a long enough period of uncertainty before a car 2 cars behind knows whether it is brakes or turn for accidents to occur.

Let's start over. @jmebid, can you provide additional context around your question? Perhaps then we can direct our sarcasm and angst in the proper direction.... ?

Haha… apparently people lie in wait with their sarcasm and angst no matter what questions are posed ? Maybe we all need to go volunteer somewhere and expend this boundless energy on something meaningful!
