Ive never noticed a ford brake light doing that

Are you talking about the chmsl? Mustang turn signals kinda do a 3 blink thing....

Edit: google "ford 3 blink" and the results are about ford introducing 3 blink directional signals in 2009.

Isn't this going to look like you flipped on your emergency flashers every time you hit the brakes???

I'm not sure if the plug and play module with require you to install resistors or not. However, as promised, I will post a new thread when they are available.

If you have any questions about the DIY version, feel free to shoot us an email: Contact@diodedynamics.com

Thanks for the support guys!

Would be curious if you would have a module that would have the rings for the turn signal blink as though it was a directional arrow similar to the newer mustangs. Like the inner most ring will blink and then the outer most one would blink when turn signal is activated.

Funny, but I was thinking the same thing. Probably because of the Mustang.

But that's not possible unless each and every LED ran its own circuit. You'd have to take the light apart and completely redesign the wiring.

Yea same reason I thought about it. Your point makes sense, unless the LED rings are already on separate circuits and just connected together which I have no electrical experience so wouldn't have the slightest clue. Wishful thinking I guess.. Lol

Perhaps I saw it on modified Fords first, and it's not OEM. The blinking gets attention and normally, the light would stay solid after a few blinks.

In doing some research, there is a legal gray area as emergency vehicles are the only ones allowed to have blinking red lights...but from what I can tell, the loophole that a company named Pulse is using is that the light stays on the whole time, going from bright to dim before ending with bright.

So in this case, the fact that I want the light to turn off when the pulsing is done could be even more gray area. Also, would LEDs have 2 brightness settings, and could the Pulse control module effectively control this?

Probably not...so until further research is done...I'll just let it go for now.

However, if I was turning, my current turn signal flashes red on and off...so how does that pass the scrutiny of the DOT with their rules?

Wow, that is a nice deal
The listing says they're staggered sizes.
Posted that over here too.

No, there's deep center wear on those tires. I bet they were over-inflated.

Stay away.

I have one but never installed it. It seems complicated, and I'm lazy. I should post it in the classifieds....

You should install it. And take lots of pictures. Then I'll install mine

I've had mine for uh.. 8-10 months now and it's still in the trunk.

I was just talking to few people about it again because I'll have to get something done so I could use my fog lights via OEM switch independently once I get those All new XB LED

Projector-Style Type-N Fog Lights(see picture below) by TheRetrofitSource for our cars, which are PnP and connect right up to the OEM fog wiring..

but once that happens, I won't be able to use my fogs on with just the dual evil iron man on anymore ( see pic) once

those revolutionary fogs go on, I'd have to get the KP technologies foglight module installed, although I really do not

want to mess with cars BCM... it's difficult to wire it and it can lead to many more serious issues...






Here's what I found on their forum, I just don't know how I feel about messing with car's BCM

KPtechnologies Forums ? View topic - 2010 G37 Sedan Installation

If you guys try it before me, then I'm definitely in for the details !
