Am I the only one feeling this? lol
I think this is pretty sick.
But does it stay solid after first 3 blinks?
My car will look like F1 and sound like one! lol

Cool Where can you get?

Hello, M3 Fighter Pilots!!

Center Rear Light (RED Model) EP-38

On-Line Store1, On-Line Store2



Center Rear Light (CLEAR Model) EP-39

On-Line Store1, On-Line Store2



Its price is 3,400 yen (about 34 dollars). But I don't know whether those stores deliver it overseas.

Looks tacky to me, and ineffective at that height, but what matters is that you like it .

Hey, noticed you have LEDs on the regular brake lights, rather than stock incandescent bulbs; what kind? They look pretty bright.

not really my taste, but i wonder if it would create problems with cops because it's a flashing red light?? i think that's a no-no.

I'm pretty sure it's highly illegal in most states/provinces/etc. Most traffic acts state no blinking red.

Why do you say that? I thought maybe the same thing because of the caption saying to compare the right and left. But that was for the pic above... Was there something else?

I guess it would be a neat feature ONLY if it turns on when you mash your foot down on the brakes as a safety feature.

1) It is not rear fog lamp, it is brake lamp. Read above once again.

2) BMW adopted "Dynamic Brake Lamp" from LCI models. It is flashing at a panic brake. Can you explain why BMW adopted it?
And why didnt you just code that??

Ive seen lots of evo x with these and they look brilliant. Doesnt fit m3 tok well. Have you thought of mounting it behind the mesh? Exactly where it is now but on the inside section of the bumper. May look better. Hidden yet the light is visible.
