  • Flashing brake lights

    So driving the other day i seen a car that when braking had their brake lights flashing then they stayed on, iv looked to into this but can only find a flasing module for a 3rd brake light e.g boot or high up window brake light, does anyone know how to get all 3 flashing the same time ?

    As far as I know it’s supposed to happen when you brake really hard and the abs comes on

            I cant remember but mercedes and volvo have it apparantly as a (safety) feature which does work in my eyes

                          Its triggered by either/or/both by how quickly the pedal is pressed and how hard. Never seen it work though.

                            Does it on facelift , I have seen mine do it a couple of times when checking ABS �� . You won’t see it happen unless there is something reflective behind you and it is dark enough
