Stock Flashing 3rd Break Light?

Half_ton · January 22, 2017

Confirmed dealer add on. One of these weekends I'll have to pull that out. Not a fan of the pulsing 3rd brake light, even if it may provide a minor advanced warning to cars behind me.

Thanks everyone!

if you yank it out shoot me a pm with a price. Please note which wires it was hooked to.

If I lived in a metro area I would probably have a different opinion. But, in middle TN there isn't enough traffic for the potential safety benefit to override the fact I don't like the look of it.

I agree that on a motorcycle it is a different story. My R1 has a similar feature.

If I get around to pulling it out I will be sure to PM you.

I couldn't care less if it annoy someone behind me, honestly the a##hole in me smiles thinking about it doing so. I care more about getting that stupid moron off their phone long enough to not rear end me. Won't cause damage to me, but waiting around 2-5 hours for FHP to show up just so you can get the traffic accident report and go home is quite a PITA though. I toy with the idea of adding this to my truck, didn't know it was an added feature, thought it was computer controlled. I know a few of the loaners the dealer has given me has had a sticker saying something about the vehicle having this feature but those were tiny car like things.

*edit*

I think some of our UPS package cars have this "feature" too.

It gets your attention for sure. I like it but I too would like to see some sort of logic in the thing so if you're in stop and go traffic it doesn't keep going.

Sounds like something the dealer did and charged you for. Did you notice it on the paperwork?
