3rd Brake Light Pulsar

Anyone install a brake light pulsar on the F series? Haven't seen it mentioned other than one person intending to. I did it today and it doesn't pulse at all. Either not compatible, defective or wiring mistake (don't think so).

50/50 chance of getting it right. I had one on my R56, but hadn't thought of it for the F.

Actually it is printed on the circuit board in tiny print which way to install, but old eyes can't read the words that easily. An instruction sheet or tag would be beneficial to include with product.

tight finger grip and pull. if you need help you could wedge a plastic panel tool or paint scraper to get it started, but it is pretty easy to pull. It is held in by some panel clips.

Just checking since the last post to this thread was from 2016…

Has anyone had any issues installing the 3rd Brake Light Pulsar from Outmotoring to a 2019 F55?

Bimmercode can now set Brake force display speed , and braking strength.
Try that before.
