Brake Lights = Turn Signal....

Post by mark758 » Tue Sep 17, 2013 12:52 am

I've noticed on a few videos, esp of US RS5's, braking and turning where occasionally only one brake light on one side comes on?
Is this a feature where the stop lights indicate direction of the vehicle under braking?

You can see at 1:50 and at 2:25 the rear lights switching off on one side under braking on a bend.....?

It's because they are led,

Led is hard to film and looks like it's flashing but actually it's not.

Led does flash but very fast but the cameras ant keep up

yeah - it's like when you used to film old CRT monitors and they appeared to flicker like mad.
