Amperite STOP-ALERT 2M brake light pulsator. Because i'm lazy i'd rather have this pulse the brake light for me. I tried searching here but couldn't find it. I think there may be other brands that sell something like this, but i was hoping this one was good, because i get a discount at the website i found it on. I'm new to this forum, so i'm not sure of the rules concerning posting links, so i won't post the link unless someone confirms that its ok. Also, I just purchased an integrated LED taillight, and was wondering if these things work with LEDs as well. Thanks!

I'm not familiar with the Amperite, but I hope it has a timer before it pulses again, or else the pulsing in stop-and-go traffic will **** off everyone around you.

Be warned it can also cause target fixation by some drivers because they can be so eye-catching.

Make sure you follow the laws in your state, if they have laws pertaining to how many pulses are legally allowable.

Back off XP is what I have works great.

^^^ Thank you, i think i'll get that one instead, since i have LED rears, cuz it says it works with LEDs and one i was looking at didn't specify.

I have a pair of HyperLites

and a DecelLight vacuum switch. These switches were available from www.motoloco.com, but I can't seem to find either motoloco.com or another supplier.

HyperLites will still work. They can be programmed to flash for about five seconds and then burn steady.

Check with DOT in your town/state. I was there when a Harley with the blinky brake lights got failed. Sad thing was that he had been waiting a couple of hours to get inspected and had obviously had the lights pass in at least one inspection.

Good point, sv650s_mem. Always check local regs before modifying safety equipment.

Since Hyper-Lites are auxiliary and the stock brake lights are unaffected they should pass anywhere (as far as I know). Still, always check.

I always wonder why people don't wire in a bypass switch so that they can pass inspection and then re-enable it easier.

Sorry, I'm new on this forum, hope its ok to bring old threads back to life.

Has anyone tried

?

This is interesting because it has a accelerometer so it not only blinks when you hit the breaks but if you are going down a hill and lightly on the breaks and someone cuts you off and you have to hit the breaks harder, it flashes you brake light again.

I was thinking of ordering one but wanted to see if anyone had experience with them first?

Thanks!

Looks good but there ends my knowledge . Anything that makes us more visible is an improvement . If I could launch a bottle rocket with braking I would.
