Product Description
BackOFF™ Wig-Wag™ Brake Light Module
Alternating Brake Light Patterns Designed to Capture Attention
The Signal Dynamics BackOFF™ Wig-Wag™ Brake Light Module automatically flashes dual motorcycle brake lights in an alternating wig-wag pattern designed to help attract and maintain the attention of following drivers during braking.
This module is specifically designed for motorcycles equipped with two brake lights positioned side-by-side.
Instead of both brake lights flashing together, the Wig-Wag™ alternates the left and right brake lights back and forth in a highly noticeable attention-getting pattern during braking.
Compatible with:
- LED brake lights
- incandescent brake lights
- combination LED/incandescent systems
Designed Specifically for Dual Brake Light Systems
The BackOFF™ Wig-Wag™ is intended for motorcycles with:
- dual brake lights
- side-by-side brake light configurations
- custom rear lighting systems with separate left and right brake lights
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT install this module on turn signals, as alternating turn signal flashing may confuse following drivers.
For best results we recommend connecting the module to only one pair of brake lights. The module is rated for up to 10 amps total load.
Two Selectable Wig-Wag Flash Patterns
Mode 1
When the brakes are applied:
- the left and right brake lights alternate rapidly back and forth 4 times
- followed by 3 short flashes of both brake lights together
The alternating wig-wag sequence then continuously repeats for as long as the brakes remain applied.
Mode 1 is ideal for riders who want maximum ongoing visibility while stopped in traffic or waiting at intersections.
Mode 2
When the brakes are applied:
- the left and right brake lights alternate rapidly back and forth 4 times
- followed by 3 short flashes of both brake lights together
After the sequence is complete, both brake lights remain steadily illuminated for as long as braking continues.
Mode 2 is ideal for riders who prefer an initial attention-getting alert followed by a more traditional steady brake light appearance.
Designed to Gain and Maintain Attention
The Wig-Wag™ flash patterns were specifically selected for their ability to attract and maintain the attention of following drivers without appearing random or erratic.
Many state driver handbooks recommend briefly flashing brake lights when slowing or stopping to help alert following traffic. The BackOFF™ Wig-Wag™ automatically performs this function every time the brakes are applied.
Simple Installation
The BackOFF™ Wig-Wag™ installs inline with your motorcycle’s existing left and right brake light wiring.
IMPORTANT:
The left and right brake light wires must both be cut and the module installed inline with the wiring leading to the rear brake lights.
Basic installation includes:
- locating the left and right brake light wires
- cutting both brake light wires
- connecting the module inline
- selecting your preferred flash mode
- mounting the module using the included adhesive pad
Compatible with most 12VDC motorcycle electrical systems.

Easy Install... works great
Received the WIG WAG back off unit and installed it within 20 minutes on my 2016 Goldwing F6B with full LEDs. Instructions are simple, and worked first time. I am not an experienced technician! I used the Posi-tap connector products (not included with the purchase) These connectors made the install a breeze and gives me confidence in the reliability of the new connections. I did have some questions, prior to purchase. Support was quick to respond and very helpful. Good Customer service... Nice. The Wig Wag Unit is quite amazing together with existing the LEDs gets top marks for visibility. Now there is still snow on the ground up here in Canada.... so haven't had my first ride in traffic yet... I'll check back later for my impressions. I recommend this product. Don (Ontario, Canada)

well worth it
I put this on my bike a week ago, a Yamaha FJR 1300, and have found that people notice me much sooner when I put on the brakes or when stopped. The unit also intermittently pulses brake lights when stopped, so I don't have to flash my lights when I see someone coming up behind me anymore. It's a nice solid sealed unit and took me about half hour to install. Motorcycles should come with these from the factory. Well worth it.

Wigwag should be standard equipment on every bike! Takes you out of that sea of tail lights day or night!
I bought this one as a replacement for my original one that failed after 66,000 miles. Installation was a breeze and I was back on the road in short order. The failure mode appears to be no brake lights at all and if this can be changed to normal operation it greatly enhance the safety aspect. I always do a basic lights check so I caught it right away. Don't hesitate! Just get one!

Best value for your money
This is very will made. Easy to install , you do not have to be a master electrician to make it work. It is also small enough to hide just about anywhere on the motorcycle or scooter.
