We have that product too... but it requires a replacement of actual brake lights... And most 3BL don't allow for direct replacements. So we have kind of let those go by the wayside.

A couple of years ago, I thought it would be a good idea to have the 3rd brake light flash, blink, ect.. When the car is in reverse (Like a silent back-up alarm)
Could this be done with your project.
I thought Tone's flasher kit. does light from side to side (like Kitt)?

Thats a great idea on the reverse flashing. As for Tones flasher kit, all it does is flash the 3rd brake light when pressing the brakes like new model cars...

Could you get some Night Rider action action going? Now that would be sweet!
2001 Ironman Daily Driver... 3.5" suspension lift (OME912 springs and 1" spring spacer), ball joint flip, 1.5" front diff. drop, 33"x12.5 TrXus MT, 16x10 Eagle Alloy rims, Interceptor, PV muffler, K&N air filter, Alpine Supercharger, Bilstein shocks, and some trimming.
2000 Ironman Project LS-1 VX... very slow progress but someday....... ohhhhh someday......

Can't do night rider unless you replace the entire 3BL, and ours isn't friendly for replacement. You would have to dremel out your old one, and swap out a new board... We were originally going to make one, but the VX just isn't a good candidate. We have a model that we sell for the standard GM 3BL (H2, Suburban, escalade, jimmy, blazer, tahoe etc.) all use it.
But we can't control each individual LED with its current configuration... So we're limited to different all ON/OFF and percentages of brightness. (which is still cool)
As for Reverse light, it would work for that, would require some relays but would definitely work. Once we release them I'll include a wiring diagram for use with reverse lights as well.

:THREAD RESURRECTION:
Had an idea for the third brake light-- and thought this might be a good place to put it. But I was thinking it would be really cool of the third light would be pressure sensitive. Like the harder you brake the brighter it lights up. How hard do you think that would be to do?

Honestly I have no idea probably not a good idea to tap into anything electronic on the brakes so you'd have to install a switch at the brake pedal which might be a bit difficult. And probably not a lot of people would do.
hmmm.... Have to think about that one.
