Third brake light pulsar
I just installed my third brake light pulsar from GoMiniGo. It took about 30 minutes to install. I chose to take the light completely out and did the wiring in the house. The hardest part was busting the seal on the gasket. The lense was quite tightly sealed to the body. The pulsar works as advertised....you do notice it. I also had installed the brake light mod from GoMiniGo in 2004 when the MINI had about 400 miles on it. Now the rear is noticable with the mods...and people can't say they never saw me brake if they should run into the boot at a light....

Not to steal your thread.... but has anyone got any sources for adaptive brake light controller ?
That is; a flashing third brake light that pulses (flashes) at different rates. Really fast flashing when you are hard on the brakes, and several steps of flash rates to steady state when slowly on the brakes...

Me too
I also put in the third light flasher from GoMimiGo this weekend. Since I had already changed to clear lights, getting the light out was easy. But disconnecting the connecter between the light and the wiring harness was a *****, and in the process of trying I it broke. I ended up by-passing the connecter and hard wiring the light to the wiring harness, and when I finally got the third light flasher installed, it did work great.
The "Give Me a Brake" set up, which wires the unused fog lights into the brake light circuit, was another story. I wired in one side, and it didn't work. I checked and double checked that the bulb was good, that I had connected it to the correct wires, and that all the crimps were tight. Still wouldn't work. So I e-mailed GoMini Go, and got a response right away. Finally yesterday they told me they'd send another unit out right away, in case the diode in the first one is bad. We'll see, but I can sure say that the folks at GoMiniGo have been terrific.

Any updates? Is the "give me a brake" circuit working now? I'm getting one, any installation tips/instructions?

Post Office stated it was delivered yesterday. Can you let us know if you did not get it. It was sent out in Mondays' mail as you ordered late Saturday. We always get orders in the mail the next mailing day.

OK, electrical campers, I'm reporting back. The GoMINIGo Give Me a Brake kit is officially awesome! Took me longer to figure out how to unclip the wire plug on the first one, than to do the complete install. Once the clock started, took all of 10 minutes, and only that long because I had to get my wife to come out and hit the brake pedal (twice) to check operations.
A very fine, and safety enhancing product. Thanks, mini-rolls!
Next up: PULSAR!

Sounds great! I ordered one today. Hope the installation is as easy as it sounds.

It's really straight forward, the only issue I had was the size of the adapter makes it a little awkward to find a place to locate it. Once I was able to get that worked out, it was only a couple of minutes.

OVERDRIVE
I have the brake-light flashers on my bikes, and I really think they're effective. Anything you can do to increase your visibility on a motorcycle is usually money well-spent.
I wouldn't want a flasher module that flashed continuously, but the ones I have flash three times and then remain constant as long as the brake remains applied.

You know its funny i hand made some straps for the backseats like 6 months ago, and was going to offer them to people for cheap then i saw them start selling them, although there version seems alot more complex and has alot more webbing than mine, nonetheless its good that someone else thought about it and did something.

Thats cool im glad someone had the same great thought although it looks like its a strap of webbing and connects both posts, mine only connects to one post. BTW theres a thread going on at my local board about your brake light flasher versus another one. I have the other one but havent installed it cause i was going to get yours. But im on the fence. Heres a link to my board conversation http://www.metroplexmini.org/forum/s...ad.php?t=17796
