Vehicle Brake Light Flasher Module. Safety Flash Light Alert. Universal. For Motorcycles and Cars. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FADDOL4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_e4j.CbGFM2123

I picked this up a few weeks ago and scoured the web for connectors so I didn't have to splice the OEM wires... found both harnesses with connectors, but it was too rich more my blood:

So I decided to slice and finally found time to install it today.

Install was super easy. I prepped the wires and made sure it could be bypassed easily. I then 3m taped the module to the trunk lid metal liner, and ran the configuration wires in loom down the trunk hinge where I attached a red momentary button to make programming easier.

Took like 40 minutes.

Very cool!
I like the way you configured the 'program' wires.
I bought this one a while back (seems out now):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NUNDVCI/
and I just left the program wires taped off...
Here's my vid for it:

Not sure how much the extra 'brake force' stuff works, haven't had anyone follow behind me to test...

Nice, I like your program better than mine. Mine is too long. The only downside of this unit is it does not have a delay lockout, so stop and go traffic may annoy the driver behind us.

@Matthyahuw I also wanted to make sure it was easy to bypass and return to stock behavior without having to remove t-taps. That is why the oem 12v line to the brake has a male and female quick connect.

As these are technically illegal in MN (red flashing lights are reserved for emergency vehicles), I wanted to make sure I could bypass it in just a couple minutes as that may save my ass if I am ever pulled over. I hate fix it tickets.

Depending on how you interpret it, the mere depressing of the brake like repeatedly would also deem the brake lights as illegal, being as that the brake lights are alerting following traffic to a hazard/warning - i would think most sane LEO's wouldn't bat an eye. But sticklers do exist haha

Awesome mod, I've been considering doing this but after sitting behind a Jeep SRT 8 in stop and go traffic with the same light, it got highly annoying and can imagine would be the same deal for the people behind me. Pretty sure Jeep has those by default

They do indeed. I am attempting to ride the line between illegal and mostly legal.

Yeah, that is my concern with my longer pattern atm. Though it has made me better at coasting in second gear in stop and go, as I don't want to annoy those behind me. I think I will shorten the pattern to just a couple fast and slow blinks. I wish this flasher module had a lockout delay setting.....
