Electrical LED 3'rd brake light.???

What is trick however is that someone over on MINI2 has made a modification so that the light scans once or blinks before you brake. Looks really cool and would raise driver awareness around you
We are lucky its an LED though.....for those of us with cooper spoilers, it would be a pain to remove them to change bulbs

Blinking brake lights
I guess they aren't legal here yet, but Mercedes has them in Europe.

Since you've installed it, could you give some tips on where you put it?
Does it blink all the lights or just the 3rd LED high mount light?

The Flasher was put behind the "3rd" brake light module and spliced the wire to oem wires. "3rd" B/light will flash and only this light, the other two b/;ights will be on all the time no flashing

With the Sport package it's very difficult to remove the LED bar display - maybe not even possible. So, I was going to splice it into the loom which is reachable from the alarm sensor box on the rear ceiling. However, there are quite a few wires in the bundle. If you could provide the color of the wire that you spliced into, I would be very thankful.
