Flashing BFD thoughts - now with video

Post by Scooba_Steve » Sat May 20, 2017 8:47 pm

So I've finally got there - flashing BFD now works on my Z.

I missed off one setting initially giving just the flashing third brake lamp. Interested in thoughts over what people think would be more effective, all or just the top. I might ask Marlon to do me a poll...

It did also get me thinking that it's worth doing for the pre-facelift guys who have the full circle mod.

I'd also be interested to see how well the flash goes with normal bulbs, as I have upgraded to LEDs.

Haha I'd do just 3rd brake light buddy

As all 3 maybe a bit much

I have no clue. I just reset everything and they stopped.

You know about double flash on hazards ?

Flash with centre and inner circles would be possible. Not sure how good the flashing is with normal bulbs.
