Default I Love hyperflash!

I know there are people that will go to great lengths to stop hyperflash, But Personally I like it. It gets attention faster than the standard flash rate.

Anyone else deliberatly have hyperflash?

I don't like hyperflash - particularly with the LED switchbacks. To me, that's just begging to get pulled over.

Oddly, I seem to be stuck with it when using my hazards (unless I also engage the turn signals) even with the bypass harness.

However, I DO like it with the hazards because by definition, those are supposed to attract attention - and hyperflash definitely attracts attention, which is probably one of the reasons why you love it. So I sort of have the best of both worlds in my view. Normal signals, hyperflash hazards.

While I do not have LED's,nor do I have hyper flash,,,I to have wondered why folks go to such lengths to eliminate it,,as it always seemed as if it might catch dozing drivers attention a little better than standard rate. Unless it is ridiculous fast it would seem to me to be an asset!! JMO!

I kept my hyperflash...makes a really cool effect at night with the switchbacks, I get all sorts of inquiries, and no one has pulled me over for it...I got pulled over for speeding (recv'd a warning) on my way to chicago, he was very interested in the car and the mods, but did not mention my hyperflash.

There is a third-brake light flasher. Flash rate is adjustable on most of those. However if you REALLY want to get attention, install this in your 3rd brake light. It has a flash rate of 4 per second.

Is there a place where I can view this? I have no idea what you're all talking about. A blinking 3rd brake light sounds pretty cool as long as its not blinking like a strobe while you've been stopped for 5 minutes.

No, they'll flash for like 3 seconds then go to a steady on.

That's a good idea! A lot of people have terrible driving habits down here in south florida. I get people constantly riding my rear bumper, in the rain, while they're busy chatting and laughing on their phone...

Nope, I initially sent back a set of the LED halo lights because of it and then finally bought another set when the fix came out.
