Mod brake lights to blink/flash

[mADmAN]

Aiyah! all the accessories fitted here where got go thru' J**.....

they dont need to go through JPJ... they only go through JPJ to make them legal.

so if u install something illegal then u kena la if they catch u

blinking f1 relay is for LED bulb only.. not filamen bulbs..

but for me.. yes.. blinking rear light really fast catch our attention than normal rear brake light.. but like danz says.. blinking for a few seconds then stop..

To me, if I find cars with such non-stop blinking lights on their brake lights whenever they hit the brakes, is kinda annoying and distracting other road users. If it is like the 4th additional brake lights that many installed, which actually blinks up to 3 times then it remains as it is. That is okay.

If you are gonna install something that keeps blinking non-stop whenever your foot is on the brakes, is just not practical and is making people behind you have a difficult time in driving especially at night. How painful can your eyes be when a light keeps flashing in front of you brightly.

Is good, and it helps but install a proper one where it only blinks up to 3 times then it stops as just lighted up. That way, you feel
more secure and you are more considerate with other road users as well. A win-win situation.

A good idea, but get it done properly. If not, you are gonna make our eyes go blinking as well :stoned:

Anyway, before you go on with your idea, you may want to read some of the JPJ Rules for our cars before you consider
doing what you planned to do. Might save you a few summons.

JPJ/RTD GUIDELINES FOR PRIVATE CAR MODIFICATIONS

Let me copy out one of the section that related to your topic.

INSTALLATION OF ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED

1. Blinking lights (other than signal lights and hazard lights) at the front or rear of the car.
2. Installation of light blue, purple or green.
3. Installation of a mix of horn or with a two-tone horn.
4. Installation of spot lights at the rear of the car.
5. Installation of tinted glass or colored material on the front windscreen, rear windscreen and side windows which permit the light is less than 70%.

Note: However, the use of tinted glass or colored material at the top of the front windscreen of 20% of its width and the window glass is allowed in the quarter may be amended from time to time

Thanks for the JPJ guidelines.

But it is still gonna happen. I am fed up of having my car rear hit once or twice a year since 2004 (no exaggeration). However, I am mindful about non-stop blinking lights. Those DIY electronic circuits and commercial blinkers all do not blink non-stop. They blink only for a while (like for 2 seconds then the third brake light turns solid).

Some products will only blink if you step on the brakes 8 seconds or more after the last blink (good for traffic jams where you have to press the brake lights many times, so the brake lights won't keep blinking each time you press on the brakes).

P.S.
I've been hit in the rear in the following situations (all in slow speeds):
- stopping at traffic lights (normal, gradual stop)
- going downhill on a slow but moving traffic
- going slow over a partially flooded road
- traffic jam (either moving slowly or I am in complete stop)
- stopping at T-junctions (again, normal and gradual stop)

Before anyone asks, no, my brake lights were working in all those situations.

cbsteh...since u always kena rear ended...your number plate giving u bad luck.
happened to my sis' previous car....finally sold it.....

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

cbsteh, I think is wise you try to go to the temple and pray and ask god if you are chinese. Or maybe go to some reputable fortune teller to see what has gone wrong. It could be something happened or accidentally trip on something bad.

Could be bad luck. From the way u say it. Normal gradually stop also can get rear ended. So is must be something wrong.
Or like Izso said, change number plate or car.

Sometimes things that we don't believe, is just there for us not to believe.

Nope, don't believe it any of those things. Besides, these accidents occur over two cars, old and new.

That is why I suggested earlier to brighten the third brake light....

I think the side and rear is now 50%, the front 70%

 

[mADmAN]

Yup, that one i just copy the whole thing, main thing is to show that blinking lights are illegal LOL!

maybe u should change your driving style.. esp. when u're trying to slow down your vehicle / near traffic light..

Nope, not going to accessories shop, as already mentioned. I want flashing brake lights but not just any one will do. TQ.

Spikes, u might trip and kill yourself at home by accident. Having those bull bars is enough to keep people away from you.
