Tones rear brake light flasher

[nocturnalVX]

I'm one to buy the mod & cross my fingers. None of my vehicles stayed stock for long! Window tint, performance mods, whatever... it's fun making it unique. I was told by a few that I'm GOING to get pulled over because my new VX tires stick out a bit, and once had to sign a waiver at a motorcycle shop that my new exhaust system was "for off road only". I have the break light flasher (wasn't going to get it until I saw it on others' in Moab), and have (knock on wood) never had a problem in Chicago, Vegas, Colorodo, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Boston, etc. It may irritate some people (sorry Yal ), but the attention-getting benefits are worth it.
Oh, and the police issue... most are cool (and motorcycle/automobile enthusiasts too), and I'd rather have them than not. My friend Jenny got us pulled over for speeding in New York state, but the officer didn't say anything about the flasher (which he HAD to see 'cuz she stood on the brakes) and ended up letting us off. Kewl!

Yes, it did irritate my extremely but that's ok Gill. I realized that the more this thing is aggravating, the better it works. I might even go for it; since I noticed lately people on the road have tendencies to sit on my tail. Sometimes I am just waiting for someone to kiss my a#* and say hello to my tailgate. Maybe if they see something like this flashing, they will understand it means, "Back off". It worked for me, I did not want to follow you Just kidding. Really, I just wanted to be in the middle

Normally I stay out of the VX topics and just pop over to see my friends but this one sparked a little intrest.Yes the light mod is annoying but I saw his brakes on real early because of it.Is it illegal probably.How many people are running 4 " of lift.Indiana law says no more tha 3" above stock.Do they bust us for it...nope.Not unless you are just being an idiot.

Not to step on toes but I don't like the way SOME cops abuse the power they are givin.They use to write the names down of the kids that were bad when the teacher left the room.One of the fellas that lives by me is a cop and he is a great guy and so are his cop friends but I see so many others running 90 with no lites or sirens in a 55....legal???Anyway busting cops in a thread for a brake light mod is kinda stupid.When in doubt don't buy it.I think it makes seeing the brake lights on alot quicker because something flashing bright red is going to get your attention,Now Tone make them for the bastardized 95.5 Rodeo so I can honestly say I know what I'm talking about.

Not to get too off-topic, but I got a laugh at Fiend's post. I never thought anyone would envy the mods available for the VX (there are so few), but the 95 1/2 Rodeo suffers for being rare too. Too funny! As far as the topic goes... like I said if you want it, get it.

3rd brake light flasher works on ANY vehicle with a third brake light.

Well Tone...nice of you to think of everyone in your career as "mod man"...lol.So few people have taken the time to even deal with Isuzu's and even fewer for those of us that don't drive everyday types.I know the pain that you VXers have with limited support.I think the only mod for my little 3.2 is a K&N...sure it could be a conical or a drop in but that's pretty much it.I'll have to look into the brake light deal for my Rodeo.Maybe if I annoy the people behind me they will actually stop.As a matter of fact this evening with the snow we just got I just had a near hit with a yuppie in his BMW X5.All wheel drive and brakes like anyone else equals FIEND looking for rear end parts...LMAO.Thanx again Tone.
