Flash to pass modification .. revisited!

Even though I've been on here for more than 10 years (they tell me) I somehow managed to miss this thread when it came around. Luckily it got archived and I found it again by accident while searching for something else:

What a terrific and simple mod that adds an extremely useful and cool feature. Who knows what Mazda was thinking when they failed to incorporate this feature. And alas, we will likely never see popup lights in cars again. Here's how it turned out, the first example is how I used to flash my headlights in the daytime followed by the new flash to pass mod:

Doing a flash-to-pass out here, that just makes the driver in front get all belligerent.

Here in Ol' Virginny, it's a toss up, which I take. As to those who don't move, I'd say it's half belligerent and half just too timid to do anything at all.

I'm probably gonna try this cause that's just a general neat option that I could have that most don't on my nice little car.

And not about you guys but all the links have been working for me on my phone and on my pc Google chrome for both.
