Pulsating Third Brake Light
I had my Kahtec pulsating third brake light installed yesterday by my "Indy".
Works Great! 6 flashes then steady each time I touch the brake. Wake up Texters!

I believe you can have this feature simply turned on, with SDS. It only flashes on hard braking though...

I bought it here: http://www.kahtec.com Cost was $28.00 including shipping.
I had my mechanic install it as I did not care for the wire connectors they furnished so he soldered everything in place. I was not comfortable doing this on my own with the sensitivity of MB electrical systems.
If you are familiar with wiring, and locating everything, it is a 15 minute install. See other comments on this forum for more details.
Got some comments and inquiries about it already.
