There are numerous other ways. Some companies make a programmable flasher relay (just wire to the constant on the light). It does the flashing for you and then stops. Similar to some motorcycle lights. I figured the timer relay is the most cost effective way for people and you can tuck the relay behind the plastics in the hatch. Plus they have great adjustability. If I still had my Z I would do a full write up. Most people here who are remotely electronically savvy can figure it out. Maybe EVO-R will see everyone’s comments and design the "next generation or another model with different options for people.

That unit will only flash the dimmer constant on or flash the already flashing relay and I'm not sure that would look right unless the timing is identical. The times relay above is likely more accurate. There is a circuit board type by a company called Elk that looks promising too.
