Splurge. Buy the good rubber. And don't be a lazy asshole. That is all. So, carrying on with the m.net style, I did this: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/923/iPtiDC.jpg Third brake light assembly, removed. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/4QWT8Y.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/X9sk9w.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/921/rX8sZe.jpg Discard bulb and socket, (OK, save for later if you like) and cut wires. Then install 48 LED panel with adhesive back side. Use a dab of hot glue to tuck wires away. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/TjbrEQ.jpg Cut wires to the 1156 bulb socket adapter, retain plug, discard the rest. That way you can unplug everything if you need to remove stuff. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/L056cf.jpg Here's the $4 LED flasher thingie. Blue goes to LED +, black wires to harness - and red to harness +. Simple. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/924/jEfPYH.jpg This is everything, soldered and shrinktubed. Tape wires, flasher neatly (m.net..) and tuck away nicely (m.net, again) Nice and bright, and flashes in a way that GETS attention. Shortens the following vehicle's reaction time. It saved me from getting hit more than a few times. |
And, here's the link to the LED panel, if anyone's interested.
Get the "warm white" option. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-...608.0.0.v1Jw0q |

In the 1950s, George Kelly, in his book on Personal Construct Theory, wrote, "psychological disorder is any personal construct which is used repeatedly in spite of consistent invalidation".

At least you weren't on United.

You know, it's funny, I took my Audi over there but they didn't seem to know what to do with it... --Ian |

I had that happen to me a few years ago coming back from Vegas after a few days out there for work helping teach some schools. I'm glad they brought us back to the gate after beginning to taxi since there had been a hydraulic failure. A night in a hotel was much better than crashing into the Rockies trying to make the connecting flight in Denver. |

The probability of my posting pictures of my clean-shaven ass on a forum inhabited by a bunch of lonely homosexual deviants is rather small.
