My vehicle does NOT have a center dedicated brake light. Can I install a brake light module on my combination brake light/turn signal lights?

Posted

Our BackOFF modules require a center dedicated brake light to function (or in the case of the Wig Wag module, two dedicated brake lights that do not double as your turn signals). If you install any of our BackOFF modules on your combination brake light/turn signal lights, it can confuse drivers behind you on which way you are turning because both sides will be flashing initially with different flashing patterns. Typically, these are the thoughts that drivers think of when they have seen a brake light module on turn signals:

"Is he turning?" "What is wrong with his lights?" "Are his hazard lights malfuntioning?"

Please DO NOT install any BackOFF brake light modules on your turn signals. If you do not have a main center brake light, we typically recommend any of our LED license plate frames to be installed as an alternative for a center dedicated brake light. Our LED license plate frames are all compatible with our BackOFF brake light modules! 

Can I use a brake light module on my turn signals?

No you cannot. If you have a brake light module installed on your brake light and turn signals, the flash pattern can be confusing to following vehicles when you are turning and braking at the same time, like at a red light.
