Ok. I ordered the stobe bulbs and kept the controller. I'll try the bulbs and if as you say the dash goes crazy, I can use the controller. Thank you.
The bulbs are set to flash 3 to 4 times unlike the module, As most states will allow for the 3 to 4 pulse you are better off with the bulbs. I put resistors under the hood for my switchback bulbs so when my flash bulbs come in will update if I get any hyperflash
So the ones with the module just keep flashing? That sucks.
Someone posted a 2 second video of their truck going down the road and it was flashing the whole time when they put the brake lights on, So yes the strobe module don't cut it
NHTSA position is "
Thanks for adding to this thread. I agree the flashing can be annoying and unlike too bright headlamps, there's really no way to know if you're bothering other drivers. What I would like to see are brake lights that intensify the harder you apply the brakes. In that manner, one could tell if other cars were braking normally or coming to a sudden stop.
Incorrect. My module flashes 4 times fast, then 4 times slow, then it goes solid on.
You do know strobes can trigger epilepsy fits in some people and affect vision in others. Keep your insurance at the max and a large umbrella policy in case you cause an accident with the strobe.Always thought having your third brake light above the cab stobe 3 times when applying the brakes was a great idea and figured I want that for the Maverick. Purchased the strobe (inexpensive and small enough to fit inside the cab light cavity) but suddenly balked a bit at cutting the wires to the red bulb. Now, I"m no stranger to electrical mods (auto dimming mirror, bed lighting and usb/cig outlets), but I guess I'm not wanting to pioneer the install. YouTube shows it to be pretty straight forward. Any thoughts or experiences with this modification?
Yes, I am aware of that and thank you for reminding me and others. The flashing is very fast and only 3x, so I'm thinking it won't be any different than a flashing turn signal.
