I actually want to do just that - pair it with brake lights. F1 style

As I posted in the other thread on the fog light (slightly edited):

Actually, F1 cars don't use blinking brake lights. F1 cars don't even use brake lights at all.

The light you might be thinking of on an F1 car is the bad weather signal, which may appear to be a brake light but is just an actual blinking LED turned on ONLY in poor weather conditions to increase driver visibility to other cars.

The "blinking brake light" you are thinking of on other race cars is a byproduct of high-framerate camera equipment. Most brake lights on non-F1 race cars these days are LED, and LEDs flicker imperceptibly to the human eye (due to pulse modulation in automotive applications), but when filmed on camera, they appear to be blinking.

The "blinking brake lights" trend that you see on beater civics and other "super pro tunerz" is a byproduct of general ignorance. No offense to you or your friends meant at all.
