What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[A8ked]

After nearly getting rear ended by a texting driver this morning.

I finally installed a Brake Light Flasher on my middle brake light this afternoon. I had put one on my other car a year ago, but never got around to installing this one on the Boxster. It's a simple install and I'm glad to have finally done it. Now when I hit the brakes it flashes 3 times quickly and then stays on as long as the break pedal is depressed.
Does it do any good?, well I can't say. But with all the inept drivers (it's an overstatement to refer to them as drivers) on the road, what can it hurt?

Does it work like this video?

Last I check, most states will ticket drivers for a unauthorized use of a flashing red light... whether applied by brake pedal, switch in cabin or even depressing the break pedal you have in your vehicle.

Doubt any such devices are DOT or NHTSA approved... but good luck

It's legal in Indiana.

Lew,
It's similar to the video, but the one I installed flashes four times quickly when the brake is applied and then just stays solid red until I let off on the pedal.

My neighbor said the local Audi dealer offers it as a dealer installed option on all their new cars.
