Default Making the trunk light blink

I was following a truck one day and noticed that when the truck was breaking the rear mid stop light was blinking. I kind of liked it as it made me pay attetention more. Does anyone know of an option to do the same on the trunk stop light on the S?

These might work

http://www.gominigo.com/23445.html

there are even a few videos of it in action.
according to the website it should work

"Will this work on other cars? Yes, as long as they are 12V and have a LED light for a third brake light. Incandescent (bulbs) brake lights draw too much power and will damage the PULSAR."

I konda want to do this "mod" myself

I can say from experience. . .this is about the most annoying thing in the world in stop and go traffic. When I was driving to NC from PA over Christmas, I95 was a mess and was about 180 miles of stop and go traffic. There was an SUV a few cars ahead of me that had a blinking 3rd light like this. When you're on and off the brakes every 5 seconds or so, the thing was constantly blinking.

+1 I'd check your state's laws on this. It might save you from an annoying ticket every now and again

It is annoying, but you did notice!

blinking/pulsing brake lights are flat out illegal in some states. check your state laws.

I agree with you but if you watch the vid, you'll see it only flashes at first and then it's a steady burn.

Right, but CobraTi was describing was stop-and-go traffic, in which the brake is pressed and released over and over again, causing the third brake-light to start blinking each time.

I have to agree, it's annoying.
