Brake Light Flasher

[prasnick]

Several months ago, I installed two center brake lights; one on top of the boot, and the other over the license plate. As an added safety feature, I decided to incorporate a flasher from 3rdBrakeFlasher into the circuits of those lights.

Here's a quick video of the result. I'm pretty happy.

If they can't see me now, I don't know what else to do.

I agree. If that doesn't do it, not much more you can do!

Nice work, Pete. I like it.

Very good! I have one of these but have yet to install it. I had wondered what it would look like in action so thanks for posting that.

Moss sold one a few years back and then pulled it off the market.... I installed it... when you step on the brake pedal, the lights flash a couple of times and then burn steady

From my limited research, according to federal DOT regulations, only emergency vehicles can have flashing red lights. Now, pulsing red lights are a different matter. So, a lot of these devices are pulsing not flashing devices. As a pulsing device, they can have various pulsing sequences, depending on how long you have them energized. So, that speaks to keeping your foot on the brake pedal continuously when stopped. Spokeworks LED brake lights, center light on the plate and the higher one on the trunk, plus pulsing, is about the best you can do without going crazy.

If I ever get pulled over for it, I'll insist they're pulsing.

Or, just blame the "Prince of Darkness" AKA "Bad Grounds"

Interested in that license plate one. Where did you wire it through to get to the brake wiring?

I ran the wires up through the license plate light.
