I had a young city police officer stop me once and advised that my amber brake lights on my '31 slant windshield were illegal and the next time he saw me I'd better have red brake lights or I was getting a ticket. I advised him that it came from the factory in 1931 with amber brake lights. He said that did not matter.....get them changed. I contacted my friend who is a Texas Highway Patrolman. He sent me the page in the TEXDOT book stating that amber or red is acceptable along with his business card. I carry those in my door pocket hoping to encounter the young man again but it has not happened.
