Flashing BFD thoughts - now with video
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 it would look and stand out more in my opinion
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.
