Not sure about CA but I've seen a lot of cars here in Los Angeles that have flashing/blinking brake lights.

I think even blinkingbrakelights.com is in Cali.

I hope you mean only the center mounted brake light would blink and not all three brake lights.
It will be like blinking brake lights.

Not the 3rd brake like. But the actual tail light.

I've been thinking about getting this kind of blinking brake light mod:

https://www.civicx.com/threads/flashing-3rd-brake-light-install.15406/

I like this one because there are a lot of different options for the blink rate, breath effect, etc. I only thought this was possible on the third light because of the PCB. Now, that I dug around a bit more, it seems like the other lights could be done kind of like how https://blinkingbrakelights.com/ does theirs (it seems like the blinking mechanism is contained in the bulb housing). But the blink rate is set and doesn't seem to be customizable.

If I could get the kinds of options I could get in the first link for all three, I might be sold on that one. But presently, i'd still lean towards just getting it for the center-mounted light and just replace the bulbs on the other two with red LEDs.

Kind of straying off topic a bit from the brake light discussion, but do you have or will you be making replacement leds for the license plate lights?

One of my dealer addons was the ā€˜Pulseā€™ blinking center brake light. Although I think itā€™s nifty to have, I think I would prefer my other two brake lights to be standard bright red. That way I donā€™t have to worry about the blinking being out of synch and getting a ticket for flashing lights. So if you make a non-blinking option, count me in!

I will have NON blinking and blinking options. I am also looking into a modular for the 3rd brake light.

License replacement? Interesting. I'll be taking apart the license plate light housing and look into the circuit board in there.

Also ETA for Reverse LED X will have to be pushed back to next weekend.

Turn signals may ready this weekend.

Thank you guys for your patience.

Love the constant updates you share with us!
I would definitely be in for the blinking 3rd light!
as well as license plate bulb swaps!

If you decide to start a groupbuy preorder on kits let us know! I'm sure a good amount of us would definitely jump on that.

Agree on the pre-order. Already planning to purchase the full interior kit, LED reverse and plug and play LED rear turns.

I'll still get the blinking brake lights once available.

I have the interior + reverse + sidemarkers currently. Do we know what all will be included in the exterior kit? I want to avoid double purchasing.

Definitely can create 3 different kits
Interior only
Exterior only
Interior and exterior combined.

And of course all the LEDs may be purchased separately.

Sorry for the poor quality video.

Razer Phone has amazing specs.. but the camera and audio recording is terrible.

Anyways enjoy

Wanted to get this update video out as I know most of you guys have been waiting.
