Review on GOODRUN Brake Light 5 Function Sequential Waterproof by Vera Gashi

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Brake and turn signals do not work together.

I am installing this in my legal golf cart. The shorter 34.5" wide version is perfect for a plastic roof. When the adhesive part is glued to the bottom inside edge of the roof, the light bar sticks out a little lower. a small 3-pin connector. Then there is a small electronic driver module, which is responsible for the sweep functions etc. On the other side of the driver module are wire connections that you need to connect to the vehicle, part of which are the two wires that are needed to power the device so you can use the positive power and need to pick up ground wires from somewhere in your vehicle, preferably only when the vehicle is on, as the module will continually draw power as long as it is plugged in, killing the battery. Next to this are the remaining four wires that go to the brake (white), Turn signals can be connected on the left and right (both yellow) and (green) m maybe a running light or a danger (?), because it dances like lightning. My biggest complaint, and I think it's a big one, is that the turn signal function doesn't work when the brake is pressed. Only the brake seems to work. I suspect the function of the green cable as an alarm, but it is not clear from the instructions. The turn signals also disable when braking, which may not be a problem. Overall you get what you pay for and maybe even more, it's pretty cheap for what you get. I want the turn signal function to work when the brake is pressed. This can be confusing for those following you as their eyes will definitely be on the light bar. The wire is just not enough for my application either. Assuming you want to place the driver module in the rear latching area of the trunk where the taillight wiring is located, you will not have enough wiring to get to the pocket compartment and rear window area. I was able to find a 3 core 20G black jacket cable here at Revain that looks exactly like the one it came with and I will be splicing it. I'll probably just unplug the connector that came with it. I know it has the right lighting function, I can change it if it's not outrageously expensive.
