Third Brake Light PULSAR Gen2 with SmartPulse
This unit will flash your third center brake light after you apply your brakes and then the brake light will remain on without flashing as long as your brake lights are on. This second generation product has been designed to handle all brake light fixtures. It can be used on either LED lights or incandescent bulb lights.
Using surface mount technology, this little unit was designed to be as small as we could get it for our MINI's and it fits nicely into the third brake light cavity. It is still very small and can fit easily into tight spaces. Because of its size, it can be installed on about any car or motorcycle.
Price is $30 plus shipping.
This design is silent during operation. No clicking!
This design allows you to select Long or Short pulse duration during installation by moving the jumper by the S and L. The Short setting pulses the light about 6 times while the Long pulses it about 10 times.
After getting many requests from owners who live in high stop and go traffic areas like Los Angeles, we developed the second generation PULSAR with SmartPulse technology. When in stop and go traffic, SmartPulse will stop the third brake light from pulsating. When you hold your brake pedal down for more than 12 seconds and then reapply your brake within 9 seconds, this unit will not pulse the third brake light. It will come on solid. When you reapply your brakes after 12 seconds, the unit will pulse your third brake light again.
If you do not wish to have the SmartPulse enabled, simply remove the jumper at J4 and the unit will flash the third brake light every time you apply your brakes.
NOTE: Some vehicles have a light warning system, please be advised of the following prior to ordering;
The vehicle light montoring system may monitor the current of power going to the third brake light, since the Pulsar interupts this power causing the light to flash. This interuption of power may trigger a warning from your vehicle which may indicate a false reading. The only workaround would be to live with the alarm/light or remove the Pulsar.
Installation is very simple. Unscrew your third light, connect to the wiring and reinstall the light.
