What Up All?

I would like to modify my 3rd brake light L.E.D on my spolier to pulse like what you see on sport bikes and some cars. They have some circuits that flash 3 quicktimes then stayon. Those are the ones I like. I think its a cool safety feature too. Anyone done this before?

to tell you the truth, if i saw that on the road, i would subconsciously be more curious about the flashing lights as opposed to actually finding the stopping distance i have before i crash into the car ahead of me. i think its toooo much of a distraction. just me 2 cents.

I have it on my motorcycle and do believe that it helps to cut through other drivers' dazed stupors.

I don't like it.
Looks like the construction workers trucks that flash orange but this is red.

It's perfectly legal and I wouldn't think it'd annoy drivers behind anymore than a turn signal would.

Your brake lights won't be any brighter than before and, IMHO, anything that draw attention to the fact that you're braking is a good thing.

I see so many people talking on the phone <i>while</i> smoking a cigarette and so forth, I that have to think this makes sense.

Again, that's why I have one on my motorcycle.

Ive seen lights where it would flash for X amount of time and then stay on. Same thing but less irritating.

Sounds like that is indeed what he's looking at.
