    New twist to Tone's Brake Light Flasher?? Maybe?

    I came across this and thought this would be cool if you could use BOTH this and Tone's Brake Light Flasher at the same time somehow.

    Basically this "other module" dimmly illuminates your 3rd brake light as a running light, it blinks when the blinker is on, but when the brakes are applied the light goes solid. Is there a way to electrically wire Tone's Brake Light Flasher behind this one so that you can get the benefits from both?

    Anyone know if this could be done????

    I don't know about the compatibility with Tone's Flasher Unit. However, the kit in your website link would only be worthwhile if the VX's 3rd brake light LED's could be "divided in half" (left-half LED's for left blinker ~ right-half LED's for right blinker). Just having the VX 3rd brake light blink fully across the entire rear spoiler when the turn signal is activated without indicating a specific direction (left or right) would be an absolute worthless modification.

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing about the whole light blinking when a blinker is on. I like Tone's Brake Flasher but I would like for the brake light to be dimmly lit for running light. I was hoping both could be accomplished BUT I don't like the whole brake light flashing when a blinker is on ...

    Personally I think if you get too much going on with the lights they become a distraction instead of the safety thing they are meant to be.

    I agree. Basically I like what Tone's Brake Flasher does. I just wish it would stay on in a DIMMLY lit mode with running lights when brake is not being used. I thought this extra mod might help do that...
