LeMans Pulsing Brake lights

Fixer · 06-28-2013, 06:51 PM

Those that watch racing have seen the pulsing brake lighting they use now.
Watching LeMans last week I got on line and looked into buying this for my 928.
My 911 was rear ended bad a few years ago as I sat at a traffic light, Honda MiniVan (not very mini btw) just didn't see me there. All my brake lights (have third too) worked at time.
Worth considering..

Blinking Smart Stop - Flashing Brake Light

Porsche won both GT and GTS classes.

I just saw a new car with that the other day. It definitely caught my eye. I don't know if it was factory or not but it worked

Don't know abput the legality of pulsing taillights, but pulsing headlights on motorcycles, (an aftermarket item) is illegal in some states. T

I think it would be ok as it's the brake lights and it pulses 3 times. Sheeit, I do more than that when Brake checking a tailgater all the time

Guy I knew had a tailgater one night, did the trick where you tap the brake pedal enough to flash the lights and step on the accelerator at the same time (makes the rear of the car move up and down like hard braking). Car behind him slammed on the brakes and skids sideways so he can see its a cop before they turn on the lights and pull him over. I forget if they just chewed him out or gave him some kind of ticket.

In high school at night i knew my buddy John had put down a few and was on his way home, I pulled him over with the hazards and blinking my headlamps, I can still see his face as he pulled to a stop and looked back into my high beams. Man was he scared and then pissed.
