The other week I was behind a fire truck which had LED tail lights... when the brakes were applied the brake lights strobed quickly and went steady, really draws your attention!
Now, I wanted the same thing for my third brake light because I already have an LED cluster mounted in there. It would also work great with a spoiler LED brake light.

I found this and decided to give it a try.

Its a cool little unit (which is the size of a honda keyless remote), which closely replicates what I saw on the truck. When the power is applied it makes the light strobe quickly in 3 sets of 3 quick flashes and then goes steady. I tried to make a small video of it, but it flashes so fast its hard to tell what its really doing in the video. Plus I dont know where to host a video.

Thought I'd share this with everyone, especially for people that have been rear-ended!

hmm, seems like it would be kind of annoying, and might get you in trouble with police maybe .

Hook it up to your stock spoiler light and then I'll let you know if I care.

 

out here in cali those kind of storbing lights are illegal. i wouldnt advise that mod. it'll pull you over real quik.

 

Toyota's brakes lights all flash too when you stop, then go solid

so its fine I think, go check out a Toyota lot, I have seen them on the Camry, Seqouia and one other

 

why not just get led bulbs

 

 

really my rents have an 05 4runner and they dont do that unless i have missed it. I know i have followed them and never noticed that tho

 

I have a '05 Toyota Sequoia and my tail lights don't do sh**. Of course I am in Cali....but whatever. I wouldn't do it, unless I was trying to get pulled over

 

you can get those flashers installed by the dealership when you buy the car but its not factory and its not illegal cause its not a strobe its a blicking led

 

All of the new cars that I have seen have it. Its for the center brake lamp. It blinks 3 times then goes solid. Its a safety light. Its made to draw attention so that the person driving behind you sees that you are braking.... Its not illegal, its not a "looks" mod. Its a safety mod...

 

now thats a good mod. No HP increase but could save you a ton of money or maybe even your life.

 

i actually saw this this mod on a latest Mailbu the other day for the first time. it want LED and it was connected to his brake light, also it was blinking as fast as a signal light for like 5 sec. at first i thought that was kinda wierd...why is this guy tapping his break for. then i realise that his car does that and he doest catches people attention. but kinda weird having the 2 rear brake light flashing.....i like the idea of the 3rd light flashing fast and short. its a safety mod...i dont think it'll be illegal.

 

I think it would be a good thing to have on a motorcycle

 

to think about it...thats where i saw it first...i remember seeing a motorcycle that did that.
