Smart Stop Break Lights?
 
Anyone have Smart Stop Break Lights on their 370? I do. Apparently the dealer I bought my Z from installs it on all of their new vehicles. If you don't know what this is, it makes the break light in the spoiler flash 3 times when the break is depressed. It's supposed to reduce rear end collision. Kinda cool I guess. I got rear-ended in my Maxima a few months ago so if it helps reduce rear end collision I'm good with it. Just thought I'd share. Might be a cheap mod for anyone interested.

I would think that would give someone a seizure and then they crash, :bowrofl:

nah but its a cool idea though, any idea how much it costs to put in?

-The dealer already had it installed when I bought it. Listed on sticker for $300. I can't imagine it would cost anywhere near that if you did it yourself.

It's just a module you wire your 3rd brake light into. The module is about 25 bucks.

Yeah. its really good. Keeps people about 5-7 feet away when you break. I have it installed on my fog light. I use my fog light as a 4th Break light and this relay makes it blink (like an Indy Car) when I press my brakes ;) Super cool effect.

Ah neat, I didn't know someone had a cheap module for this. Ordered one :)

Very nice find. I'm getting one as well. I'll work with my brother (a mechanic) and get a DIY completed for this.

Mine does this. I could have sworn all Z's come with this standard from 2010 and up????

This is a great find! I was going to wire something like this up for my fog light but I'll buy this instead.

Dude, seriously? All the Z's that aren't 09's do the triple blink shyt in my area.

Its a good idea, but in my area I know someone will sue/make you at fault for having it if you get rear ended. Personally I'd like to have one that changes the blink rate based on the rate of deceleration. I just know some ahole will claim they had a seizure just so sue you.

I think this would be a nice feature on the rear fog light not the 3rd break light.
