Although flashing headlights are illegal, pulsing headlights are legal but only during daylight hours. There is a sensor to turn them off at night.
i have the brake pulser on my Grand Sport. It only pulses 5 times and will not pulse again unless the brakes have not been applied before 15 seconds have passed. The keeps from annoying the cars behind in stop and go traffic. With the low profile of the Corvette, I think it is easy for the car behind to look over the Corvette.
Set up like you describe, that might be worth while.
Where did you get yours?

I've got them on my CBR 600RR. I also have the pulsing front high beam during the day only. I only turn it on at intersections when it looks like a car might pull out in front of me. Previous owner installed them. Good safety feature for motorcycles for sure.

So it actually serves the purpose then lol.

I have one on the top trunk rack light of my BMW LT.
Hopefully someone sees it and doesn't plow over me and the wife.

I like that. I had a similar unit on my M109R to keep people off my a$$. People behind you might be annoyed, but better than you being dead.

The tone of your post makes you sound more like a hater than anyone who expressed an honest opinion...

I wouldn't be without my flasher...it flashes five times then goes solid so it doesn't keep flashing at a stoplight. Easy install and worthwhile with all the people texting and playing Pokemon while driving.

I find that kind of annoying as it is deceiving in that I don't know if the person is actually applying the brakes or not.

I'm guessing that the odds of getting pulled over by the FBI for a flashing stop light are pretty remote.
