<x-charset iso-8859-1>Yes, there are quite a few vehicles which share the filament with the turnsignal and brake light. I believe this is why there was such a significant decrease in rear collisions when the federal government legislated center-mount brake lamps in 1986. The latest feature I have noticed is the flashing centermount brake lamp on a new Lincoln Town Car (a hideous land yacht).

I wasn't suggesting that the brake lights blink on and off as you stop ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
