Easy to install, highly configurable and has been working well

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

I started seeing these flashing third brake lights around a few years ago and noticed that they really caught my attention. Having been rear-ended several times by people who were simply not paying attention I went looking to see where I could get one and found several options. I got a LED bulb that has a built in flashing function for my car and that has worked well but the middle brake light on my partner's car is the type with 5 or 6 separate small bulbs so that wasn't going to be an option. I found this external unit and decided to give it a try and so far it has been great. A neat feature is that it allows you to program the flash behavior to a wide range of speed and number of flashes by grounding an extra wire. I played around with it on the bench using a lab power supply and got it all set up prior to installation but you can configure it in the car as well. Installation was straightforward, snip and splice a few wires and the unit is small enough that I was able to tuck it up behind the headliner around the lamp assembly. Since installing it has been working fine, it's hard to say whether it reduces the chance of her getting rear ended but so far so good.

Flexible implementation, well designed and works perfectly.

I installed two of these, and learned different things in both installations. First, depending on the approach you take, you can put it just on the middle brake light, or you can have it flash all three. With my daughter's Jeep, I simply installed it in the middle brake light housing, and she was none the wiser. In my Prius, I tracked down the wires for the third brake light to the front driver's side kick panel just inside the door, and decided to install it there. What I didn't realize is that the wires that control the third brake light also control the other two, so I have all three blinking on my Prius. It is definitely more noticeable with all three LED brake lights flashing.

In both cases I opted to program the module so that it blinks once briefly at full brightness, then stays on steady. I wanted a very brief flash, something that would get people's attention briefly, but not scream "pull me over" for having a red police strobe on the rear of my car.

Like others, I soldered a cylindrical momentary contact switch on to the two white leads and wrapped it in electrical tape. (What can I say? We geeks have these things lying around.) I also inserted a two position switch ("on|on" because you definitely don't want an "on|off" or an "on|off|on" switch, cuz when it comes to brake lights, there shouldn't be an "off" position) in line, in case I get pulled over. I'll just switch it off and then say, "Officer, you must have been seeing things, or maybe I double pumped the brake pedal. Seems to be all better now" ;-)

Finally, I want to clarify a comment made by another reviewer. It is true that the third option in the BIOS does not work according to the documentation. If it worked as the docs say it should, it would simply flash the LED at full brightness "n" number of times, where "n" is the setting you've chosen. What it does, however, is more intuitive: Each press of the white wires together results in the LED actually flashing at the intensity level you have chosen. Think of it as a WYSIWYG interface rather than a binary interface.

Parting thoughts: 1. Provided they're configured like mine, they really shouldn't be against the law here in Connecticut or anywhere else for that matter, but as of August 17, 2015, they are. 2. If you don't have LED brake lights, don't bother with this. The rise time of incandescent bulbs is too slow to allow any kind of strobe effect. And 3. It really is small enough to mount anywhere, including a crowded wiring harness in a small car like the Prius.

One more installation tip: The kit comes with two pairs of male and female shielded connectors, and if you're thoughtful about how you use them, you can make it very easy to uninstall this device. Simply use a female on one side of your brake light wire, and a male on the the other. Then, if you want to uninstall it, simply pull the spade terminal out of the wiretap on the ground, which remains completely shielded, and pull the relay from between the two ends of your brake wire. Then connect the two ends of the brake wire back together, (that connection is also fully insulated), and you've essentially returned your vehicle to factory condition without even using any tools. (People who put both males or both females on the relay, and both of the opposite gender on their car, are going to wish they had been a little more thoughtful when they go to uninstall.)

Excellent product! I'll be buying more.

Great little gadget, and great support too

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2014

This brake light flasher module is programmable for up to 16 flashes at 27 flash rates, and can be set so that it doesn't flash on every brake application but rather if only a certain amount of time has elapsed (10, 20, or 40 seconds). It can also be programmed to repeat the flashing pattern every 6, 12, 18, or 24 seconds if the brake is held down ('continues mode'). The intensity of the 'off' cycle of each flash can be set (12 levels) so that instead of the brake light going from flashing full off to full on, it can be programmed to 'pulsate' from some lower intensity to full on.

Installation is very straightforward, requiring the brake light wire to be cut and the red and yellow wires from the flasher be connected to the ends, and the black wire from the flasher to be connected to ground. I soldered a little microswitch to the 2 white programming wires to make it easier to configure the flasher.

Initially I had a problem with the 'deactivation timeout' feature, it seemed like it wasn't working. I emailed 3rdbrakeflasher on a Sunday and they replied within just a few hours offering to send me a replacement unit. However, the flasher wasn't defective, it's just that the 'deactivation timeout' isn't available when the 'continues mode' is enabled, and this was stated in the instructions so it was my fault for not reading it closely enough. I emailed them back saying a replacement wasn't necessary. I was impressed with their quick response and willingness to resolve any issues.

The best $20 I've ever spent for safety.
