    strobe flash upon initial brake application

    so yrs ago during a race in europe I saw a cayman brake in frt of me...and initially the lights strobed for a second then went to a std solid red......i thought cool

    then last night in NYC I saw the same on a subie


    searching the web showed dozens of strobe rear brake lights via relays and other plug and play stuff





    you all like the idea?.......I want a quick flash then a std red...itll wake up folks, especially w our lil cars.


    you like?

    I know to degree it cold be a bit ricey?............some are worse yes...some really strobe out

    I replaced my third brake light with an LED assembly offered by Rob1887. Then added a flasher module to the circuit. Check out my post #11 on the following thread. I think its upped my visibility without being obnoxious or rice
