groupbuy?





this website sells an universal one for $35 with a delay repeat feature

http://www.webelectricproducts.com/products.htm

The "Delay-Repeat" circuit means the brake lights have to be off for at least 15 seconds before the cycle can be restarted. So, if you are in bumper-to-bumper traffic, the brake light isn't always pulsing

If you lightly tap your brake pedal a couple of times, it'll give the blinking effect as LED draws less current than your inca's... so what'll happen is your LED brake light will end up glowing, while your tails arent getting enough current... it works... have a friend do it while you stand behind your car

Thanks for the site WPS. I like that delay feature. I had some jerk in a Lexus screech to a locked-up brake stop behind me and actually did hit me enough to do $300 damage to my bumper. If I hadn't heard the skid and shot forward a car length I had left in front of me he would have made an accordion out of my 3 month old 06. To take the cake, as I called 911, he backed up, hit the guy behind him and screeched off! So yep, I'll try this thing. Just ordered one now.
