hey... the other night i was having a bit of a play with my mate in his vxr... when he was hard on the brakes his brake lights flashed for a good 10 seconds.... might not sound like much but if you've seen this you will know it looks cool as hell. My question is..... How can i make this happen on my 172 is there some kind of soinoid or actuatior that can be fitted?

Why would you want to?
It looks cool??? Alllllrighty.

it's the "emergency braking" warning.
made to alert people following that they need to take ewasive action or go for the anchors, because, of course, drivers are incapable of judging that the distance between them and the car in front is narrowing at an alarming rate.
If you somehow linked the hazard warning light switch to the brakes or ABS, you'd be there

Its not a fault, they flash under heavy braking to attract more attention to it so the person behind has more of a chance not to rear end them

Hazards flash on newer French cars too.
Yes, thanks, I've figured that out.
The reason they do, is that you are braking far harder than the other 99.99% times you press the middle pedal. It alerts drivers to a different situation before they get there and ram their own car up the backside of the vehicle that has (probably) stopped in an emergency, and isn't an idiot driving like a loon on the public road.
If every time you braked, the lights flashed, suggesting to other motorists some kind of abnormal warning, what would OEMs do to go one step up ? Pop a sign out the boot !?
FFS.
