I installed one of these on our BRZ and our Outback. On the Outback, the 3rd brake light blinks 5 times each time you apply the brakes. If you stay on the brake the light remains solid.

On the BRZ, the 3rd brake light blinks 5 times, remains solid, but will only blink again if 8 seconds elapse between brake application.

Because the BRZ is so low, I felt I needed something to alert distracted drivers. I also installed an Intec high mount 3rd brake light.

Kahtec offers several types of flashing modules. Installs in minutes and can easily be uninstalled.
I've been noticing a worrying trend of people riding right up on my rear end when I'm stopping. I've been employing my own version of this...I just push and release the brake pedal a few times when I see someone obviously not slowing down. This might be a better solution.

Do you do any cutting of the wire harness?
