    Hi everyone, I can now justify buying some LEDs for my car since I had my rear light blow out. While I was shopping at Autolumination.com I noticed they have a brake light flasher for $5.00. The module only works with LED bulbs which the 2004 Prius has and needs two wires. Here is a picture of the wiring:

    Does anyone here think this would work with the Gen II Prius? It's ALOT cheaper than the $35.00 Webelectronic version. Ryan

    Works perfectly with my 2009 gen II. High mount LED's are hard-wired to it, with a dash switch to selectably enable the main tail lights at will.

    If you get a brake light flasher, please get one that flashes a few times then goes steady. Getting stuck in traffic behind someone with a CHMSL that flashes the whole time their foot is on the brake is really annoying. A friend has one on his car that flashes 5 times then goes steady, it gets peoples attention without making the person behind him want to shoot it out.

    I'm pretty sure that not only is it annoying it's also illegal.
