JDM Fog Light Installed - Blinking Option
Hey guys!
I finished the install of my JDM fog light last night. I ordered the light and long harness from Z1, and then ordered the Blinking Smart Stop Delay Version from Kahtec. I've seen a bunch of different ways to wire this up, but what I wanted was to have it only come on when I hit my brakes. So...the way mine works is that it is off until I touch the brakes. Once I hit the brakes...it will blink really quick and then go solid. If I touch the brakes again within 8 seconds (like in stop n go traffic) then it will not blink; but instead go straight to solid. After 8 seconds...the light resets and will blink again. I really like this way because (just as the 3rd brake light) it's not on with the rest of the taillights and will really catch your attention because it kind of comes out of no where. We're all expecting to see a third brake light...but a fourth brake light...that blinks?!?!?! I like it lol. Here's a quick video of it. Let me know if you guys have any questions on how to wire it up.

I thought about going that route...but I figured that might get annoying to the person behind me; especially in morning traffic lol.

I want to hook up a switch where I can control when it's on/off/blink. Is that possible? I have the EVOR fog light.

Yeah that is possible. I think that's the way Simota did it in his DIY; or at least something similar?

Good job Josh. This is by far the best setup. I also have the JDM Fog light hooked up to the 8-second relay. You have the formula 1 effect and you don't annoy the people behind you in rush hour traffic

I also used a wire clamp to tap into the taillight harness instead of just cutting it. I think the only thing I'll change is the bulb...I'm going to put an LED in there.

Oh that's a normal reaction to the fog light Hooked up as a break light. people will stay clear about 4-5 feet away when they notice the light blinking. You get so used to people staying away far behind that the times when people get close to you (normal) distance you start to panic thinking you are going to get rear ended! haha
