Brake light flasher

Having now tried a whole mass of bulbs - I am convinced that it's the lens itself that is the issue. It is the antithesis of directional.

I have an idea or two - BUT would need things I simply do not (currently) have access. HIGH RES 3D scanner - and rapid prototyping - plus a CAD designer. A spare rear cluster and maybe even a rear guard.

Basically I think I needs a new backplate making up (maybe in aluminium - heat sink) and the use of more directional LED units. I would then opt for a commercial grade and approved LED cluster - a standardised size one (i.e. Land Rover Defender). Though a non ECE approved one could be easily designed ONCE the basic plate assembly is defined.

I will not be adapting my rear unit. I have additional tail lights in the top case and additional flashing tail lights in my indicators. I was going to add lights to the side cases - but can see no way to run the wires neatly without drilling - and the cases are watertight - so that won't happen.

Gratitude for the response, Chris!!!
Your lens theory makes a lot of sense to me and is a ball-buster.
Next is how to modify the rear fender for mounting something like this:

HOW MUCH?
The land rover LED units made by Wipac are 27USD each on Amazon.
I think using two (one above the other) would be a neat solution.
Also available with clear lens.
And thinking about it - the base plate could just be 3D printed in Grass reinforced Plastic.
I'm in Valencia right now - but when I get home I'll do a bit of Quick and Dirty Photoshop-ing.
Rob ( @Claviger ) has a tame 3D printing place.
 
I checked and apparently they quit making that version. They have these...The features seem to be the same, but they are a different size and mounting. The new ones are more pricy. It seems like I only paid $100 for mine.

No wonder I could not find it.
These I did find.
Thanks.
