New ITA Protege Build

[Greg Amy]

Technically speaking, painting over them is disabling them. So, by that logic, you can remove the wires.

Um, no.

Not being able to see that they illuminate, does not mean they don't illuminate. "Tree falls in the forest" and all that.

I haven't looked in a lot of IT cars, but I don't recall seeing any switches to activate turn signals. If everything holds true then those would be required as well.

You are correct.

[XelderX]

Cool. Less work.

Greg, I'm not trying to pick a fight, especially since I don't know the IT rules as well as most around here, but that doesn't make sense to me.

disable

— vb
1. to make ineffective, unfit, or incapable, as by crippling
2. to make or pronounce legally incapable
3. to switch off (an electronic device)

By painting over the lights, they are rendered ineffective, and are thereby disabled. At least that's my understanding.


With regard to the light switches/turn signal indicator/wipers, it says that you may replace or relocate them, it doesn't say anything about removing them entirely.

I don't need any of that crap in my car!

$25 and a lengthy debate with an SCCA technical scrutineer in the tech shed should verify your thesis...

All exposed lites shall be taped over. Duct tape of any color is legal and asked for. How does this not render the lite Disabled, Ineffective by your definition.


Tree falls in the woods and all.
