Add-on LED brake light harness kit for Genuine Buddy

I wanted to express how happy I am with my new add-on LED brake light kit from thatvwbusguy. It's plug-n-play and looks OEM when finished. The add-on LED light replaces the stock reflector mounted on the rear mudflap of my Buddy 125, looks and fits perfectly and increases visibilty big time when braking. I have mine hooked up to the brake light modulator he also made for me so that the add-on LED light hyper flashes along with the factory brake light and then goes to a solid brake light. Installation was a snap and only required one or two tiny holes in the mudflap behind the license plate to route the wires to the brake light. Thanks again, thatvwbusyguy for working with me via PM's and making the project so easy and professional looking. Really nice people are hard to find. Anyone interested in purchasing the kit can send a PM to thatvwbusyguy for more details.

I like the idea, it's ALL about visiblity. Every added measure helps.
Visibility = Safety

I've thought about a set of these http://www.scooterworks.com/streetfx-st ... EuvhNm9LTo to replace the reflectors I've mounted on my basket.

Opie,

Have you any pics of the LED add ons?

Thanks Tim.

Here is a link to a quick video I shot of the auxiliary brake light on my wife's 170i. This is the exact same setup that Opie1965 is running.

The extra brake light can be installed with or without a brake light modulator.

If anyone is interested in adding one to their Buddy, I can figure out a price for the kit.
