A while back I added a special tail light LED bulb to my motorcycle that strobes for a few moments when I first use the brakes. It really grabs the attention of the drivers behind me when I touch the brakes adding to safety.
The 993 has a roofline that falls below the window sill and hood line of many minivans, cross-overs and pickup trucks on the road today. For this reason, it can be nearly invisible to some inattentive drivers at night. For this reason, I purchased a LED conversion kit for the high-mounted stop light and added an inexpensive controller (eBay) to it resulting in the following result when I touch the brakes.
Here is a video of the results:

Here is the flash controller: Strobing LED Controller
I was even, with a slight modification to a rib in the base and one in the cover, was able to fit the controller inside the light bar housing so there was no need to go into the car to do the install.
It begs the question if a controller could be integrated into the light bar so it can also cause a split L/R chaser light function to denote directionality? This development I will leave to others.
Hello Andrew, I purchased the LED conversion kit and controller. But, I cannot get it to flash my third brake light. Can you offer any suggestions? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteVerify the red wire from the module is going to the plus wire to the LEDs and the wiring harness and the black wire goes to ground ( the brown wire from the wiring harness) to the module. If any of the wires are reversed the LEDs won't work or will not strobe. Let me know how it goes via private message.
