Default Strobing 3rd brake light mod

Hey guys. Some of you guys have shown interest in doing the strobe effect 3rd brake light mod like I have on my S2000.

I will be offering them @ our local S2000 meets for $20 installed. These will work great on the AP2's LED 3rd brake light. I havn't taken a close look at the AP1's brake lights to confirm if they are LED or not so If anyone wants to volunteer please hit me up.

Cool idea, but I don't need any more attention towards me while driving. Haha.

I have had and seen too many near misses. This mod is very effective in grabbing peoples attention when they are approaching a line of traffic @ a stop light.

I have already been rear ended once, and i sure as hell dont want it to happen again. So this is a little insurance. In fact you'll notice some high end cars will come with this feature from the factory, although its more of a basic on/off instead of a quick pulsing flash like mine. (i wish the video showed it better) Mine works as an intermittent flash with three quick successive pulses at a time. Very attention getting.

These mods are especially effective on motorcycles where a single solid state light wouldn't be noticed at all.

Do me a favor and check to see if your 3rd brake light is LEDs or bulbs. I havnt tried these with bulbs yet so i cant say how they will work like that.
