I ran for YEARS without a rain light, as several others from the States
has done. I have never seen a car get black flagged if it starts raining
and no rain light is on.
Eventually, I did wire rain lights as Phil describes, simply installed a
switch and ran a wire back to my OEM tail lights. The parking light
circuit on standard 1147 bulbs is all you want and need.
Please don't overthink this, guys. If you don't run in the rain, you
certainly don't need a rain light.
You do not want a super bright lights that will distract your
competitors, or as Tony G found out at Lime Rock, you will get black
flagged because somebody thinks your car is on fire! (I wish I was
kidding...)
