Flashing brake light mod always looked super cool to me

The module might be the one detailed in this video:

But I would say that is really obnoxious and confusing if someone was to drive behind you.

I think that's only for the 3rd brake light, does that mean he's using multiple of these modules connected to his brake lights and diffuser light as well? I think it looks really good, it's kind of a warning to drivers behind you

It should be one module per light you want to strobe. I would check local laws on this, it's a bit excessive. One could argue if they rear end you that you were pumping your brakes and they got confused why your lights were strobing.

I think it can be a nice safety feature when it's wired to the 3rd and/or 4th brake lights only. But yes, I admit that I find it to be somewhat annoying when it's all the brake lights flashing in my face every time the driver slightly taps the brakes.

Only time I got confused was briefly behind a vehicle (I forget what it was) where the brakes and indicators/blinkers are the same bulb... AND their 3rd brake light was out. I thought the person kept flipping on their hazards or something. Lol
