Abstract: A system (10) for enhancing perception of the illumination of a plurality of brake lights (910, 912, 914) is provided. System (10) includes an input line (111) which is coupled to a vehicle's brake switch (908) and may have an input (142) coupled to a vehicle's turn signal switch assembly (918) for determining when the flashing of the brake lights should occur. The voltage provided from brake switch (908) is coupled through a normally closed relay contact (32) for coupling to the output (132) of system (10), such being coupled to the respective vehicle brake lights (910, 912, 914). When the brake switch is closed the brake lights are flashed at a predetermined flash rate, for a first predetermined time period, as established by a first timer circuit (58). Re-initiation of the flashing sequence is inhibited for a second time period established by second timer (56).
