I suggest a flashing center brake light.

A center brake light that flashes appears to be legal in most states. I see a lot of these is Arizona. City buses have them. Pima County Sheriff's motorcycles all have them. I had a DIY one on my Miata for six years. They do get noticed!

Here is a company that offers these for sale:
www.3rdbrakeflasher.com

There are several different types of these on eBay.

Here is the full DIY instructions on Miata Net.

Motorcycles have them, Ambulance and Fire Trucks have them, BMW now has them, Volkswagon has something like them (When under heavy braking the hazards lights start flashing). So I honesly dont see how a flashing center brake light is illegal. If it's flashing all the time then yes i can see that... but like 3-5 short flashes should be legal in all states.

A third brake light flashing should be okay.


But due to the nature of our car, I re assure you, we are more prone to getting messed with then the VW or BMW next to you doing the same thing.

Continuously flashing lights are illegal...but flashing brake lights (IE temporary lights) are legal. I had them on my motorcycle before I sold it and would LOVE some for my Evo. There are too many morons out there who dont pay attention and these perfect for them.

As far as the Fuzz is concerned. It depends on the officer, but most would think it was a good idea. The more people pay attention to whats around (in front of) them the more we like it.
