I have seen a few, don't like them, they are to distracting to other drivers when coming at you, and driving behind you.
I hope they do out law the modulator for the headlight on motorcycles :gah
I've been running a headlight modulator for a couple of years now. I think it may have saved my butt a couple of times. Being "distracting to other drivers" is exactly what it is intended to be. If the cager is unhappy with the flicker, it means he has seen you and it registered in his noggin.
A couple years ago I was riding on a flat, wide-open rural Colorado highway on a clear and bright morning. There were only two vehicles in twenty miles of each other. The pickup truck pulled up to the stop sign and stopped. I continued and just when I got to the intersection, the pickup pulled out and damn near hit me. When I spun around to "chat" with him, he swore he never saw me. I was the only moving thing on the road and my non-modulated headlight was on. Being "seen" means your presence affects the cager's decision. Too many scoots are being seen but not really seen. I think modulators catch their attention. I'd rather piss 'em off than have to exchange insurance information with them. Oh, and I don't care what other riders think of how I look going down the road.

I don't mean to sound preachy, but when someone wants to take away my choice to use or not use a modulator, I get a little testy. Remember, there are a lot of people out there who if given the chance would ban all two and three wheeled vehicles from public roads. In the words of the late Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along."Mr. Murawski,
Outlaw the modulated head lights IMO, what's next...the .
If states could set vehicle lighting requirements, car and bike manufacturers would end up having to build state-specific models. They had effective lobbyists in D. C.For some strange reason that I do not understand; they are defined and expressly allowed under Title 49 of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Unlike things like speed limits; the states do not have the legal authority to override this law.
I take no position on whether modulators are effective or ineffective. I chose to continue to use one because of my firsthand experience with it. I take exception when someone proposes to outlaw them, thereby taking away my choice in the matter. A friend has a bell attached to his scoot to ward off bad JuJu. Is the bell really making him safer? Who knows, but it's his choice to use it. But wouldn't it be silly to propose that biker bells be "outlawed" because they've not been shown to be effective?
When modulators are outlawed, only outlaws will have modulators.
Okay I'll stand down. But come New Years Day, the dog fight continues. "Curse you Red Baron."xgzBUT! come 1 JAN 2014 'I am' going to outlaw both
