Blinking Third Brake Light


93 Grand Prix

Recommended Posts

I was wondering has anyone ever seen cars with a blinking third brake light? Is it possible for me to do this to my car? Can I attach it to a flasher like my turnsignals or something?

It would be illegal.

You could do it with a simple turn signal flasher. I think a 2-bulb flasher will work.

I've seen it before, and I personally think it looks really goofy. I've seen better versions that flash quickly for 1-2 seconds and then light steady, that would be better IMO.

mine is flashy...2 flashes / second

i used a circuit i found somewhere with a 555

 

I'd like it to flash few times than stop but i'm too lazy too redo the circuitry. It might be "goofy" for some people, but believe me everyone behind notices it, some keep looking at it at a stop the whole time.

Its great for waking up the drivers behind u and keeping them alert.

Like Brian said less chances of getting rear ended.

 

I had it before on 1 flash every second or so but people kept mistaken it with a turn signal and were avoiding sitting behind me at stops if i was on the left lane :)

I realised then that quicker the flashing the better.
