   self-propelled implements  of  husbandry  shall  have  flashing  amber      
   signal  lamps  and  reflective  material  mounted as near the left and      
   right extremities of  the  implement  as  practicable.  Provides  that      
   implements  of husbandry not originally manufactured with synchronized
