GTR Lighting - Flashing 3rd Brake Light

GTR Lighting just dropped a video w/a flasher module installed on a F80.

Thoughts? Is it available? If so, has anyone installed it?

I sent a note directly to them and will update upon receipt of their response.

Why install a module when this can be configured with the OEM hardware and coding?

Correct me if I'm wrong, the OEM version only works when emergency (hard) braking while a flasher module just flashes all the time when the brake pedal is pressed.

I'm not a fan of the brake flashers, looks corny to me for normal braking. I definitely like the flash when emergency braking.

Fair point and I don't know how I feel about it either. Asking out of curiosity and for opinions only.

This one actually looks pretty subtle, IMO.

I see some ricers around here with their 20 year old Accords on cut springs with those flashers,

Kinda looks like the bulbs are on the verge of going out, thus flickering.
