Got my sequentials and 3rd light pulser about a year ago. Great mod. Love the extra attention the butt gets - I know it's working!

Have both the sequential directionals and the blinking 3rd light.
Took about 30 minutes max to do both...
Web electric.... both plug and play.

I got mine from webelectric. It's a great product and only took about 10 minutes to install.

With the vette being so low I wanted something that would grab everyone's attention when I step on the brakes.

Saw a Silver Coupe with one yesterday and it really got my attention.
Thanks up front!
I really hate those things. They are annoying as he11 if you get stuck behind one in traffic. Turn signals should blink. Brake lights should not.

So he calls later in the day and says the brake lights are working fine, except for the center light, which they will need to order.... I finally put two and two together, and explained the mod, which was working as designed. Cost me $70 to diagnose a "problem" that wasn't there. Doh!
You deserved it for running an annoying blinking brake light.
I kid, I kid.

No, but seriously, they are annoying.

but with the webelectrics offering, some time must pass between when you let off the brake pedal and you reapply it again, or it won't blink (just comes on steady). I think it's 15 seconds.

If you're behind me in stop-n-go traffic, it won't be annoying because it won't be constantly blinking.

Also the web electrics device is not a constant blinker either. The CHMRSL (sp) blinks for the first few seconds - but then stays on solid as long as the driver hasn't let off the brake pedal.

Are you sure you followed a car with one of these devices installed - or was the car you followed having

electrical problems???
