ABSTRACT:
A kit for retrofitting automobiles, primarily standard passenger cars, with a rear deck warning light to warn the drivers of following vehicles of the removal of the driver's foot from the accelerator pedal. The kit includes a self-adhesive rear deck lamp housing, a length of double wire cable that may be fed through the body of the car to the trunk and attached to leads from the lamp housing; an adjustable switch bracket for mounting to the depending pivot bracket of an accelerator pedal pivoting linkage; a switch mounted on the bracket and wiring leads for connection to the cable; a device for tapping into a source of voltage at the fuse box of the vehicle; and a self-adhering miniature lamp electrically connected to the switch by a self-adhering flat ribbon cable. When the kit is properly installed, the removal of the driver's foot from the accelerator pedal closes the switch and lights the rear deck lamp and the miniature lamp which is secured to the outside surface of the dashboard within easy view of the driver. An alternative lamp housing having three interchangeable visors that allow the lamp to adapt to different angled rear windows.
