@craig, being a chinese product the laser light itself might be rubbish but if there's an apparent problem then ,like neil i'll connect to the reverse lights or the fogs ... ... - .- -.

Having just read thro the Roads Vehicle Lighting Regulations 1989 with regard to rear stop lights, surprisingly there is nothing to stop you using a flashing stop light on your car.

The system I see a lot in france that sets the hazzards off after a few seconds of heavy braking, it seem very effective but I dont know if it's standard fit or just somthing drivers do over here.

Just check the law of the land in the country you will be using these Knight Rider esque lights in... Before you get that sinking feeling in your rear view mirror |

That system is part of Emergency Brake Assist sir... This system detects when you brake heavily and takes over applying the brakes to their maximum level given the road conditions... It turns on the hazard lights when it does so to warn other drivers to "pay attention" [/i] |
