Anyone have that on theirs?
Where can you get one?
How hard to install?
Saw a Silver Coupe with one yesterday and it really got my attention.
Thanks up front!

I have the sequential turn signals which is a simple hookup.
They have a plug and play 3rd brake light which I'm probably getting next.

I got mine from LAPD. Not being wildly technical, I thought it was a pretty easy install with good directions.

Got mine from LAPD, also. It drives my friends crazy when they are behind me which is perfect since I know it's got their attention.

Have it, LAPD.

Funny story: I was out driving a couple of weeks ago, and a lady pulled up to me and said "You're brake light's broken." I was taking the car in for service the next day for a different problem, so I told the service writer about it - didn't check it myself. 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!

Hardest part of the install is taking off the license plate assembly. 15 min max!

I got the sequentials and the 3rd brake light pulser from webelectric but at the time their pulser unit had to be spliced in. I shelved it and went with the LAPD model which is plug and play. I see webelectric now has a "plug and play" unit.

Though the blinking center gizmo was not plug-in; it required some basic splicing.
Mike, it is plug and play now. They upgraded their product.
