Provided I can even get it to do that.
It isn't doing it reliably
Since I installed my SRI a few days ago, it has done it exactly twice.
And after specifically trying to get it to do so, it refuses to.
has it only done it since the sri?
Nope. It's been doing this since I got the car
Would have turned me off from it but with my budget it was the best option lol
weird
A lot of shit on this car seems to be made out of rubber, so it seems to start getting eaten away after about 75k miles
Like the PCV valves.
Both rubber
And the engine has a habit of eating them. Literally they get ingested into the intake and eaten
Pick up the metal universal PCV from AutoZone or wherever
I might just do that.
It's past the warranty date anyway
does your car have a timing belt?
I don't believe so.
A few people pointed it out in the comments, but this really isn't very accurate
In a country like America, which has massively open roads, the vast majority of it unlit at night with cars a far distance from each other, red turn signals are preferable
Exactly
From a long distance, a hybrid brake/signal light is far safer
Hell, I've seen practically *white* signals from 'yellow' lamps (Lookin at you Honda/Acura)
I've been thrown off more than once by cars with yellow turn signals.
I literally could not see them because the car was braking
well that's weird, because I've never had that problem
Some cars are worse about it than others. Also depends on conditions, etc.
well yeah, hence it seems like a rather circumstantional issue
I've been thrown off by cars with 'blinking brake lights' in the middle of the day. Never understood the sense of having the indicator embedded in the brake light / using the same colour
I think all the brake lights blinking when the pedal pressure is high (indicating hard braking) would be useful, especially on the interstate
yeah, been thinking that for a decade or so
the human eye catches blinking lights better than a light going from 'off' to 'on' just once
I've seen them start to show up on higher-end cars
brake lights should blink rapidly and indicators should cycle in the direction the person wants to turn (eg four LEDs cycling left to right if turning right)
Although I'd hate to be the person who has to change an indicator in the future, though
I suppose you could offer them as a 'set' and if they become more ubiquitous then the price different wouldn't be that much in the end
But I suspect each and every car company would have their own setup, which would mean the customer is even more tied to dealer service centres to get 'simple' things like a mere light change done
You can do it with aftermarket replacement relays. They already have them for emergency vehicles
Fucking Japan....

Let’s be honest, though, the real assholes when it comes to lights of any sort are the douches with lifted trucks and xenon lights.
Because I love getting blinded right at eye level by oncoming traffic
