If you're talking about the 3rd brake light pulser, Corvettemods has one:

Also have to believe more of a deterrent for the manufacturers is you may have to take off the rear bumper to get access. Perhaps you can access by removing the rear plastic interior. But the C7 has many cheeking circuits and computers watching for shorts etc so I would not want to be the first to try!

I just purchased one that is suppose to work on any car. It splices in the line. Cost about $25. and has 1000 flash patterns (Their claim not mine). Now if I could only find an easy way to install it.

When you do please post! Perhaps you can access the wires by removing the rear plastic interior panel.

Worse, I have a suspicion that the LEDs are not getting 12 volts, which means the generic aftermarket pulsers won't work. There's a Hella control module under that plastic panel, with a bunch of very tiny wires coming out of it. Since Hella makes lighting equipment, and those wires are so tiny, I'm worried that it may be supplying only 5 volts to those LEDS.
No easy way to tell without pulling the rear bumper, though.

but no way to tell if the plugs match until someone installs one..
Can you take out a tail light and reach the wiring without removing the bumper?

Hmm. Read quickly and since it looked just like the one I put in my C6, missed the 2014 and up comment. My Bad. Perhaps there are two since the plugs are different. Have contacted the company and asked for install info , will relay what they answer!

Bought the one from Corvette Mods, but it came with installation instructions for a C5. Have sent three emails asking for the C7 instructions. No responses. Monday, I'm placing a stop payment on my CC.

On the C6. That doesn't mean the C7 is the same.

please don't...
to me, they're an annoyance typically found on large gals mini-vans. Especially hate being behind one in rush hour or stop & go traffic. Rate these much higher on same scale as the old "Baby on Board" yellow caution sticker or window suction cup.
Thinking man's alternate to this lame product/mod: if you encounter a unique situation(accident, const, backed-up traffic on expressway) where braking or stopping is not usually present is to simply tap your brake pedal a few times to alert drivers behind you of the situation

"Department: Sales
Subject: C6 C7 CORVETTE 2005-2014+ BRAKE LIGHT PULSER - PLUG N PLAY Part Number 11583
The install guide is included with the kit. You will need to access the plug under your cargo tray
Sincerely,

At least there was a response, even though it makes no sense!!
On my C6 you just look out the tail light lenses, unplugged the connector and inserted the device in series with the plug.
