I seem to remember reading in the handbook of my Alpina which is the pre facelift, when braking hard the whole ring of the rear lights light up rather than just the outer arc of the brake light, no mention on flashing the brake lights.

I have never actually seen it happen though because i'm always driving lol

I had bought a G Stop for my main car and they emailed me with offering a second unit massively discounted so I thought why not for the Z :)
Is it a discount code? Maybe you could share it in a PM? :D

It was April last year that I got the code. They are only £8.99 on Amazon now so pretty cheap even without a promo code :)

Any pics of where/how you fitted it? Not so worried about actual wiring, just best placement of the unit and where you found best to cut into the wires. :)

I fitted it to the underside of the boot and tapped in to the wires of the middle brake light. You just cut the factory wires and wire this in to the feed. It’s important that it’s placed flat(ish) for the G sensor to be able to function correctly under heavy braking.

Will have a snoop in the boot this week and put this on my list. Coding is hit and miss with the pre facelift. Not found anyone to confirm if it can be coded or not. And if I can achieve the mod for under a tenner then I'm not complaining!
