Guys. Looking to make a mod for safety this off season. Too many idiot texting drivers out here.

What is the best and brightest tail light flasher modules that flashes under breaking?

Thanks!

These are Whelen TIR3 lights. Three extremely bright LEDs. 12 different flash patterns. They're about $50 each, but epoxy sealed made in USA. Did I mention that they're really bright ?

Both of these are mine. I have not (yet) added one of these lights to our CB1100.

If you're handy, you can go to the local home improvement store and get some sheet metal.

Cut it to fit whatever light that you're mounting. Now go and find the appropriate wires.

Here are some auxiliary running lights, mounted to each side of the license plate. The bottom tab will host a Whelen TIR3 superbright red LED light, set for flash ( one of the available 12 settings )

The bulb option is a great mod.
I'm cheap, so went with a $2 relay (eBay). Has worked well.
Wired it under the seat with opposing connectors. This way I can replace or remove the relay to go back to stock by plugging the connectors together.

obleo - I googled "Kaison Trailblazer" and all I find is either high school teams or OEM taillights for a Chevy Trailblazer. Do you have any other info about the product? I'd be very interested if it's just a bulb replacement. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Nemo. I just ordered the LED flasher bulb. Two for $10.95. Will let everyone know how I like it in about a week.
