We are manufacturer of "Additional Brake Lamps" and are planning to export this product to the U.S.A.

The "Additional Brake lamp" is the add-on lamp which is usually mounted near the rear windshield of a private car and it turns on when the brake pedal is pushed. The product we manufacture now consists of light bulb, LED and red transparant plastic filter plate.

We would like to ask of there are regulations, standards or approval for this kind of product. Does this product need to have any certificate or approval before it can be sold or installed?

We will be very grateful if your department can give me the answers.
