    Finely got my Hper lights hooked up

    Well I hope I didnt do a cardnel sin but I installed a set of OEM back up lights on my 65. Not so I could see while backing up. I put red LEDs in them and wired them as a third brake light. I installed a hyper flasher so they flash 3 times then stay on. I have LEDs in my stock rear lights but just wantted to get peoples attention a little more while there on there phones or watching a DVD on there dash.

    Slammed Big Blue, ran over the varmints that messed with the Stang. Now all is good in the NW

    Interesting idea

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Re: Finely got my Hper lights hooked up

    Just a comment ... when I first saw the 3-blinking stop lights I thought it was a good idea.  Then one day, stuck in stop-and-go-traffic on the highway, the car in front of me had the the 3-blink lights, within a few minutes the blinking was driving me crazy.  Just saying.
    However, Cab4word, novel idea!

    I went with the LED in my tail lights of my Cougar. I think they are more than bright enough to get attention of other drivers.

    I installed the sequential LED tail light assemblies after following Dave68's car at the Bash in Kalispell in 2011. They impressed me as being bright even in daylight and I liked the sequential turn signal feature too.

    Bob,  they only flash 3 times then they stay on steady tell you release the pedal so they should not be driving anyone crazy while stopped

    True, but it was stop-and-go traffic, so the driver was on and off the brakes.
