Headlight modulator & brake light flasher 4 Years ago  
I have just installed a headlight modulator and brake light flasher and thought I would share some videos of them working.

They costed about $90 and were very simple to install. Got them from a company called Comagination. The headlight modulator simply plugged right in, while the brake light flasher had to be spliced in, but was still very simple!

Here's the link to the videos:

Can you post a link on where you got them from please? And the stupid question of the day is.......How does the headlight know when it is night time?

ok obviously I was mistaken on how the headlight modulator works. I thought it modulated constantly but from the looks of your first video, it stops after a bit. Am I wrong?

the modulator will keep on going until the sensor shuts her down as when you enter a tunnel or when the sun goes down...

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh......that makes sense. I could see riding at night with a strobe light in front of you could be a bit distracting.

Re:Headlight modulator & brake light flasher 4 Years ago  
I've got the headlight modulator on mine too. You can see the drivers coming at you actually seeing you and looking at the flashing light. I've had a few pull to the right because they thought I might be a LEO until I get closer and they realize I'm not . I also have the brake light flasher (back off modulator)on but don't know if it has been any help. It just makes me feel more visible. I have my photo sensor for the headlight mounted into one of the windshield bracket holes where the lowers would mount to. It fit perfect.

YES, They are legal in all 50 states. I did have one cop point at me while going by him, but he never turned around to pull me over.
