How do I make my 3rd brake light blink?

It seems that I used to see some 4th gens w/ a blinking spoiler light. (Of course only when the brake is applied)

I searched but it's glitching again. No luck.

Anyone?

with or without a turn signal being activated?

If you can run wires to the turn signal, it might work.

Bijan, when I was a sales consultant for Saturn, we offered an aftermarket safety device like what you're asking about here.

I can't remember the company that produced it, but I found a link that sells the same thing for $20.

I do have something to say about part of your tread. You and and that other member are putting this org. down and now you are asking for help. Thanks for putting my gay car on the tread. It sure looks great and its all paid for. The next time I go to Warner Robins, Ga. to visit my brother, I will look you up and we can have a few beers. Later the old man.

Ok we have something in common. According to your profile, youve been a member for a little over a year.

There ARE tons of idiots on this board. We both donated, so...obviously its not as bad for us.

my firend's 6 speed came with the blinking spoiler brake light, its the most annoying thing to drive behind him... we've been trying to do the reverse and make it stay on instead of blinking, anyone know how???

people actually make their 3rd brake lights blink?

i always thought it was a malfunction, i once saw a corolla with a blinking 3rd brake light and i thought it was malfunctioning or had a short somewhere in the circuitry

some benz on one of the tekademiks videos had that....I forget which video but it was some AMG Benz. It does look really neat, it blinks really fast, its not slow like a blinker.

bijangxe......yo dude, i got a brake light flasher called, "BackOff" on ebay. it's made for motorcycles. blinks 3 times goes solid for a few seconds, then repeats cycle.

if you're a little electrically inclined (which i highly doubt) j/k, then you can just buy a relay from radio shack and hook it up. the only thing that might give you an issue is if you want it to go solid at some point. other than that, it will be a continuous flash.

later
