Default Yeah or Nah.. on third Brake light blinker

Guys,

Let me know what you think on this third brake light blinker on our SC.
I just installed it. Installation was very easy.

Yes or No

I say no cause it looks like you keep hitting the brakes ever so slightly over and over again. Which to me, is annoying if I was behind you.

I thought you meant you wired the left and right sides of the LED strip into the turn signals.

I have it on mine. mine flashes for 5 seconds and goes steady after that. I got mine because i drive in rush hour traffic on the interstate on a daily basis where traffic goes from 70 to 5 almost instantly.

The way i look at it is with the unibody, it doesn't take much to total out a '93 from a rear impact. i really dont' want to say goodbye to my SC because some jackass wasn't paying attention
