I don't have the effects like this guy has BUT I have a thirs breake light that flashes quickly and after two seconds it goes solid. My tail lights blink moderately and stop after 5 seconds.
Annoying? Perhaps...BUT you notice blinking lights much more readliy than a solid light.
I did mine like this because I'm in a small little car that gets pushed around on the road. I also installed a train horn for the rest of the morons out on the road who like to do stupid -ish.
@42gram I just don't like to get rear ended. I don't know where you live but no one can drive around here and things like this might help. I need to pulse my brakes so i can pull into my driveway without some one locking their tires up behind me.
@shaggy80hunter Lights don't have to distract and/or annoy to get your attention. In fact, they SHOULDN'T, since that's counterproductive, so not only DIDN'T these lights do their job, they did the OPPOSITE. If someone wanted to get your attention, wouldn't "Excuse me?" be effective, and far more welcome, than someone poking you in the back of the head while yelling "Hey!"? Safe driving standards were established long ago: gimmicky, juvenile stuff like this is dangerous.
@shaggy80hunter There's a difference between "getting your attention" and "distracting you:" these lights do the latter. ALL lights should get your attention equally: ALL brake lights should be the same; all turn signals, headlights, and taillights,as well. A significant difference is, by definition, a distraction. It's hard enough to scan for lights that are similar: you shouldn't have to be scanning different TYPES of lights,too. And the "excuse me" analogy is near perfect.
@shaggy80hunter And regarding my driving qualifications: in the 16 years and 175k miles I delivered for Domino’s Pizza (in rain, hail, snow, fog, sleet, and ice, and on Friday and Saturday nights when the roads are covered with drunk drivers...and mostly at night), I was in 2 accidents, both of which were 100% the fault of the other driver, and neither of which resulted in injuries. Before that, in the army, I drove tractor-trailers on the Autobahn for 2 years. And you?
@shaggy80hunter Trouble noticing? Where’d you get that? The driving environment should be as simple and uniform as possible: the less you have to think about, and the less you have to process, the easier it is. DIFFERENCE (ie, the lack of uniformity) is distracting, and therefore has no place in an environment where safety is primary. Anything that “stands out,” such as these lights, is a distraction, and distraction is the antithesis of safe driving.
it's just because you have a rubbish camera with under 30 frames per second. Looking at those lights they would all appear on - but through your rubbish camera you get that effect. It will do it with LED signs too.
The solution is not to use a rubbish camera, film on a decent one and this will not show.
Oh come on! if you see that in real life, than you have been equipped with a pretty sophisticated CMOS sensor like my Canon Legria S100. Change your shutter priority to 1/125 instead of using 1/500. Somehow I always knew these bionic sensors in humans won't work properly. Nothing beats Mother Nature. :D
@jjchargerboy16 Then you're not sensitive for flickering lights, it's somewhat ok during daylight but when it's dark, one has streaks of red lights on the retina, not only irritating but also distracting and dangerous.
@42gram But the LED lights don't flash like that in reality. It is because the camera has a small amount of frames per second. I have a Volvo S80, and this does not happen.

@chackers Honestly. if these lights distract you. then you have other problems.
If these lights.. annoy you then you have other problems.
They got your attention they did there job......
You took your time to post a video about it, it got your attention, they did there job.
I find nothing juvenile about these lights...
Your "example" of the "excuse me" is not relevant as it has nothing to do with driving.
I honestly do not see how lights like these are dangerous. they did there job

@chackers If you HONESTLY.. have this much trouble "noticing" (scanning lights) as you said....
And this type of light makes it THIS hard for you to drive that your gonna crash from them....
Then Honestly you cant do basic multitasking, there for you should not be driving anyways
