Great idea for 3rd brake light and maybe front corner blind spot bulbs (3156 bulb).



This flash module will make your LED lights strobe for 2 seconds when you hit the brakes, then stay on steady as long as you have the brakes applied. Can be used in multiple applications like turn signals or reverse lighting to attract a bit more attention to your ride. In-line wiring makes installation with crimp connectors simple and easy (connectors not included)

*Not for use with dual output (high/low) applications like 1157 3157 and 7443 bulbs

*Check your local RCW lighting laws before purchasing if installing for use on public roads and highways.

I'd like to see it in action on our car, but it seems a little "ricey" imo.

The main purpose of them is that it draws more attention so someone behind you is more likely to see them.

I don't think I like it. But who knows, maybe in a couple weeks I will change my mind. Post up a vid if you decide to get it.

it could cause a little drama to some LEOs being that there shouldn't be any Red or Blue lights flashing on vehicles while in motion. BUT then again it some may see it for its purpose. i like it. i may get it

It only flashes for 2 seconds then goes solid as long as your foot is still on the brake. Also most LEOs really care about forward facing red and blue lights. I've seen a lot of motorcycles with this setup, I know it def grabs my attention when they brake.

So you want it more for safety factor? I can respect that.
