I got the 4 pulse version...installation was a little tricky. There is not room on the R56 to mount the circuit board next to the light. I extended the supply cable, and mounted it below the screw on the left side of the rear hatch. Took about 30 minutes total.
I bought the pulser for my '07 MCS and found the same issues with space inside the housing ... so I chose to remove the screw-connect terminal on the edge of the pulser that goes to the LEDs and soldered in a discarded cordless-phone-battery-harness in its place.
This little trick gave me a little extra wire to maneuver with, and allowed me to lay the pulser-board FLAT against the LED bar for most of the length of the pulser, which made for a much better fit inside the housing -- just make sure you match the harness polarity back to the original configuration.

I put the Pulsar (4) in while on my lunch hour at work. I like it. Really makes the braking stand out. Cheap but good looking modification with safety in mind.

Thank you sooo much "JMike". Your post on 9-17-07 saved my sanity after installing the pulsar today. Couldn't get it to fit under the molding no matter what I tried. THEN I looked at this thread and there was the answer. Fit right in and so did the molding! BTW, brake pulsars were first used on motorcycles in the '70's. They really work and if they "annoy" the car behind, tough! They're supposed to make that tail-gating troglodyte pay attention.
