LED tail lights and suspension squeak?

Two questions for y'all:
1) anybody running the sequential LED tail lights in their classic Stangs?
2) I've got a ton of squeaking coming from my suspension on the 69 Boss. Y'all think it's just in need of new bushings?

Thanks!

I have seen quite a lot of info about the sequential LED taillamps for the classic stangs. Easy to search on Google and You Tube. Most of those kits come with LED's mounted on a circuit board arranged to show behind each taillamp section. They slip in between the taillamp lens and the housing. I think the electronic modules that regular the sequencing is much like what is used on the later model kits.

If you have suspension squeaks, spray all your rubber bushings down with silicone spray. If it is persistant then perhaps you may consider replacement of all your bushings especially if you are not sure how long they have been installed.

Has any of the suspension been replaced? If so what bushings were used? If they are poly bushings they need silicon grease or lube put on them.

I don't believe the suspension has been replaced although, I do thing the springs were heated to lower it. I get that feeling because she rides lower than most and the front right seems to be a tad lower than the rest.... Dang hard to get that just right when using the "redneck method". Planning to put new springs and bushings on her shortly, hope that takes care of the squeak!
