Evo-R rear fog lights !!!HELP!!!
 
okay so i have a 2012 370Z as you know the 2012 Z 3rd brake lights blinks and flashes as well for the first 2 seconds.

soo my problem is that the evo-r and my 3rd brake lights are not in sync and it looks kinda stupid and funny when i hit the brakes.... ='[

any input or suggestion would help! thanks

good luck trying to get them to sync, they probably are built with different resistors. best thing i would say to do is to sell the evo-r one and get a reg nissan one that doesn't flash.

I didn't know that. No one has ever mentioned that.

Simple fix, wire the light so it doesn't blink when you stop. Mine blinks in reverse and comes on solid when I hit the brakes.

What you are trying to do is the equivalent of trying to sync the regular and nav clocks - impossible. Save yourself the frustration.

Ummm mine doesn't blink :confused:

martin82 01-18-2013 03:34 PM

strange, the evo r u can make it flash, but 3rd brake light should not be flashing at all!

definitionxmk 01-18-2013 03:55 PM

wait... are you guys talking about the fog light or the 3rd brake light?

x_x

OP said his 3rd brake light flashes on his '12. I am saying mine does not.

I am wondering since he already wired up the Evo-R fog light and now his 3rd brake light is out of sync if maybe he spliced something wrong. Thus causing the 3rd brake light to begin flashing.

Yeah cause I have a 12 and it don't blink lol

My '12 3rd brake light does not blink. I would have noticed this a couple weeks ago when I was tinted my tail lights and installed them.

Sounds like incorrect wiring to me....

My 2012, third brake light doesn't blink, just double checked. My EVO fog light does when I brake though.

XwChriswX 01-18-2013 06:15 PM

I have my EVO-R fog light to blink when I brake, and come ON with my regular lights.

If you don't want your fog light to blink, don't hook up the "blink" wire. Simple as that. :tup:

Check your wiring. None of our Z's blink.

video works but my 2012 3rd brake light does not flash either......did you buy used or new? Seems like someone installed a flashing resistor on the 3rd brake light cause that is definitely not from factory......

Lol it really is! I've seen a lot of Z's. None of which had a blinking 3rd brake light from factory lol

kentstuh 01-19-2013 04:16 AM

nah no way man there must be others who have the 3rd blinking brake light

USMCASA 01-19-2013 06:41 AM

more than likely the dealer installed this Blinking Smart Stop - Flashing Brake Light

You got to much going on there. Its a light show. Solid on solid is the way to go or solid with evo blink.

kentstuh 01-19-2013 02:14 PM

Yeah it looks stupid right? Lol I'm change the evo r to blink on reverse only then =[

Good call, with all that flashing you get mistaken for one of those "slow moving vehicles". :icon17:
