It's not the bulb that modulates. It's an electrical device you add to the headlight circuit. They are legal in all 50 states per federal law. Try here: www.kisantech.com

Normally it is wired into the high beam circuit of the headlight so the light only modulates when you have the high beam on. At traffic stops you can switch to low beam and stop the modulating so you are not annoying anybody in front of you. The device will have a sensor built into it which prevents the light from modulating once it becomes dark.

Most of them(if not all) have a bypass switch on the module so you have a choice. I had one on my old 77 Kz1000 that really got me noticed. If you get one, avoid using the supplied splices that displace wire insulation (called a suitcase splice by some people) as it invites corrosion and later troubleshooting chores.

I used solder and heatshrink on mine with no problems during the time I owned the bike(5 years).

Sound Off Safety Systems made mine many years ago,but I don't know if they still make them.
