What is my brake light doing?

#1 Unread post by in_denial »

I've owned my 2000 v star 650 for several weeks. The brake light must have some type of modulator connnected to it. It exhibits and animated bouncing ball that does different tricks; like flashing, exploding and turning into pacman. I have never seen one like it and when I did an internet seach, all I could find was LED lights. But it looks like they only blink. Does anyone know what type of brake light that I have?

Thanks,

No idea what kind, but it sounds interesting. I've been thinking about putting something like that on my bike. Mabye something a bit simpler though.

It has some bling! Just add some spinners and a 15 inch LCD screen to it and you can't go wrong.

Probably something on this order:

Watch the whole clip.... The lights dance like you are describing.

They don't list your bike, but I bet someone has a light like this.

My light is a little different, but it's an led like that one. I took it off and replaced it with a standard 1157.

Thanks,
