Center Brake Light Blinker>>>easy upgrade

Thought I share this... anything to make the Elise more visible to the unobservant, cell phone talking, make-up putting on, eating and drinking, watching kids and 'oh it such a small car I didn't see it' crowd works for me. Installed a center light blinker module and works great...really gets peoples attention. Product from>>>
Blinker Module

Install very easy and will take you about 1 hour...not rushing anything. Here are a few install pics>>>

Remove entire center brake light unit... two 8mm bolts and unplug


Module comes with everything you need, but instead of using the supplied wire nuts I use crimp wire connectors.



Here is the module wired up


Here is the final install...I placed a piece of non-absorbent styrofoam around module to hold in place...probably could leave this off but I am always looking to improve install. Module comes with wire tie wraps to bundle wires and could use to hold module too.

That's it...just plug back in and reattach using the (2) 8mm bolts.

When you press brake pedal the center brake light blinks 3 times then stays on full...nice feature is the blinking will only occur after 10 seconds of not applying brakes so if you are in stop and go traffic the center light won't keep doing the blinking unless there is a 10 sec lapse from last brake application.

Cheap insurance to me
