Default Break Lights

Has anybody added the module that causes your brake lights to flash erratically. Does this device cause your tail lamps to fail prematurely. I have done a bit of reading pertaining to them and they have no mention of prolonging or reducing lamp life. I guess the best way to describe what I' speaking of is a module that cause erratic brake lights when the break is first applied and shortly afterwards become solid.

Are you asking about the rear spoiler Pulser flashing lights, or the Sequential rear turn lights?

Either one will not significantly reduce the life span of your bulbs.

Not sure exactly what you are asking. I have the seq. brake light module and I do not see how it would shorten the bulb life. The do not blink or flash any more or less.

I thought he was talking about the kind like the Porsches have, where they blink faster the harder you apply the brakes.

I'm thinking you have the ones that are also on some Mustangs and Dodges, where the inner brake and turn signal light sequences to the outer lights.

Ah, maybe so.

You are correct on what I have. I got them when I bought the LED tail lights. I have gone back to stock lights but kept the seq. module.
