Default 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,

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.

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

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

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.
