Similar to the folks who install hid conversion bulbs into reflector housings.
Does the flash show on the vehicle graphic in the digital display? Normal brake, indicator and headlights do.

That was a great question. The flash does not show on the vehicle graphic.

Got this 12v adapter today that fits in the port but still allows the cover to close. Probably still need a 90 degree usb-c to close with the cable plugged in.

As an addendum to this, with a right angle usb c adapter the cover can close without unplugging the cable. A bit of a hassle to figure out but a good solution that looks fairly nice all said and done.

Had my first experience behind a triple-blinking strobe for the first time a few days back. Heavy rain, night driving, migraine headaches = worst experience behind this car! Had to pull over and let some other cars go ahead to block the strobe effect.

I can't imagine more flashing! Potentially dangerous conditions that are forced upon others behind you. However, within the law, go for it! I need to deal with it as I did.

One of the issues I considered. Thats why I went with this model that only strobes once.
