They dont pulse on high end cars. If you have seen this on top gear etc. Its a trick of the cameras due to the brake lights being leds.
If you see them with your eyes they dont flash.

It will only work with LEDs, afaik, since they switch 1000 times faster than an incandescent bulb.

These are pretty good
I had one on my zafira gsi wired to the high level brake light in the back window.
Bought it off 3rdbrakelightflasher.com a few years back, although it was a lot more expensive than the one above

only had 2 wires that you spliced into the wiring going to the light, and a small control box to set it how you liked it.

Mine was set to flash 4 times then stay on, and if you braked again within 15 seconds it wouldnt flash again, to avoid pissing people off when in traffic.

Really suprised how you saw people drop back when it flashed, i'd have another anyway

if you wanted it on all the time make ur own from a flasher unit, relay and wire it at the brake pedal end, stops the need for any rear end wiring.

here you go, even easier, just fit a switch either side of this so you can over ride it to be solid, the flasher just goes inline with the wiring at your brake pedal.

That sounds an easy enough do 72
The ones I hav been looking at this eve give out 5 flashes then go to solid until you release then press again , & so on
With this your saying I would have to implement a switch to go from flash to solid
Would thr be anyway getting round this if I was to go at it from the brake pedal end ?
