DO NOT DO THIS!!!! If you modifiy your brake lights, either to turn
them on or off, if you do this and someone gets hurt, and if this is
mod is discovered then you would be criminally liable. Worst yet, if
someone was killed you could be facing man slaughter or murder charges.
You could face thoses charges anyway, but it would be made worse by the
discovery of this mod, even if you didn't use it.
I had a friend that use the Q beam trick, he spent a night in jail
after he flashed a cop.
