Video of my flashy brake light, Knight rider-esque Options

Hi guys,

At someone's request, I uploaded a video of my flashing brake light to YouTube.

The video on YouTube

As my awaful commentary notes (I was actually talking to my friend who had her foot on the brake pedal for me) I have some ideas for cooler patterns but am too lazy to program them in for now.

Heh thanks Pepsiman! I'm an electronic engineer so obviously I've got a bit of an unfair advantage when it comes to that stuff
The LEDs are actually hooked up to a little microcontroller so all of the patterns and times and stuff are completely programmable. The problem is that you've gotta pull the whole thing out to reprogram it which is a pain.

Edit: I forgot to add; if you have any questions about playing round with LEDs feel free to PM me
