    Anybody out there know where to place the magnet to set the pattern? I can't seem to find my instruction sheet or locate the instructions from their web site.

    TY........Mike

    Had a girlfriend in that 3.9% once. She always said why wear underwear? Its just one more piece of clothing she had to wash. It was fun being with her when she wore a skirt, specially on windy days. :roflmao:

    Ok I found a spot on the lens that seems to work when I briefly hold the magnet to it. I'm trying to find the 3 rapid flashes then steady on pattern, but don't seem to have much luck doing it. I have tried changing patterns both while the brake is applied and with brakes off and just ignition on. Which one is correct? I am afraid that riding around with the current pattern of 3 rapid pulses then 3 slow flashes is so obnoxiously bright, it may get me shot!

    Aloha...Mike

    To do the brake light function: Key on, Brake on, Tap the magnet against the lens. The function will change each time you tap the lens, I got mine set to rapid flashes then steady on. On Brightest setting, For running light: Key on, tap lens. Again I'm on brightest setting. P.S. I was rear-ended once so tough sheet if they don't like it.
