01009 Back Off Brake Lights ( Wig-Wag)
The Back Off Brake Light Module automatically flashes your dual brake lights to capture the attention of following drivers and to make your motorcycle more visible. This module is specifically designed for use with motorcycle’s that are equipped with 2 brake lights located side by side. The Wig-Wag enables your brake lights to alternate back and forth in a wig-wagging pattern. When installed, the motorcycle’s brake light becomes significantly more noticeable because your brake light will flash with your choice of 2 attention getting wig-wagging patterns. This module is designed to work with standard incandescent brake lights, LED brake lights, or a combination of both.
Note: Do not install this module on your turn signals as it can confuse drivers behind you. Also, this module is rated at 10 amps which can generally drive up to (3) standard bulbs, we recommend only connecting it to one pair of brake lights.
Flash patterns when you apply your brakes
Mode 1: Emits a visual signal of 4 alerting quick flashes of the left and right brake lights followed by 3 short flashes of both brake lights. The 4 short flashes automatically repeat as long as the brakes are applied.
Mode 2: Emits 4 alerting quick flashes of the left and right brake lights followed by 3 short flashes of both brake lights in unison. Your brake lights will remain steady on after this sequence while you’re stopped.
These flash patterns are not random, but have been selected because of their ability to gain and retain following driver’s attention. Most states drivers handbooks recommend that you flash your brakes when slowing or stopping. The Back Off Wig-Wag automatically facilitates compliance and enhances safety. Install the Back Off module and see how much more effective your brake light can be!
Installation
Cut the wire leading to your right brake light at least 6″ behind the bulb, cap the end of the right brake light wire leading toward the front of your motorcycle as we will not use this. Connect the red wire with white stripe to your right brake light wire leading to the rear of your motorcycle. Next cut the wire leading to your left brake light at least 6″ behind the bulb and then connect the white wire with red stripe to your left brake light wire leading to the rear of your motorcycle. Now choose from the 2 available modes which one you would like to use. Connect either the red or orange mode wire (cap off the unused wire) to the wire from the left brake light leading toward the front of the motorcycle. Finally tap the black wire onto a known ground wire. You can now secure your module, peel the paper lining off of the double sided adhesive pad and mount the module to a clean, flat surface.
