I currently have my CD Magic Strobe set to 5. Fantastic addition to the super bright LED Pro Beams. Investment in safety features is a no brainer in my book.

Mine does 4x flash then solid for a few seconds and then 4x flash again to solid.
I saw a guy the other day who was running continuous flashes, it wasn’t as annoying as I thought it might be but it was also daylight out at the time.

You can use our Triple Play run/brake/turn module -- it has a strobe built in with selector switches that allow you to turn the strobe function on or off for the turn signal circuits and the center taillight. So you can have the run/brake/turn on the turn signals *without* having them flash/strobe, while the center taillight *does* flash.

Nope, no special connections necessary. With the following, it literally is a disconnect the line to the brake light [not Tourpack} and place this in the middle [https://www.customdynamics.com/magic...touring?cat=61} Then select your flash pattern from, what I recall, 10 choices [6 or 7 of which require a substituted LED brake light. The Tourpack is already LED's. There is an additional harness that joins in the Tourpack. Sounds to me, if you want to omit the Tourpack, just don't get that additional harness.

I just installed a CD Pro beam tailight (the one with the light pipe design) and that thing is super bright!. Makes the lectric design led taillight that was on there look like a joke.

Yes, but is it so bright it makes you taillight appear pink? The problem I've run into is that I'd like to change my brake-light to LED. However, to avoid the red lenses appearing pink, I'd have to switch from a white incandescent to a red LED. No problem, however, my sock bulb serves a dual purpose of lighting my license plate thru a white lens and my brakes thru a red lens. Thus, my brake light may be brighter and remain in compliance, but my plate light would be non-conforming. Just enough reason to get pulled over.

1 Sec Flash, 1 Sec Solid, 1 Sec Flash, Remains Solid

Running CD's ProBeams front and back with the TriBar. Have my Magic Strobe set at 7 strobes then solid. Getting ready to install a set of their low profile Bagz lights this weekend.

Can't beat their lifetime warranty and customer service.

All the ProBEAM taillights use bright red LEDs for the run/brake lights, but we make a version that has white LEDs built into a top window to illuminate the license plate -- so there's no risk of a ticket.
