Post Sequential tail lights

I am thinking of getting the sequential tail lights kit from CDC and I was wondering what you guys think of it and is it difficult to install?

I just installed the WebElectric PnP kit... and the quality & fit of this kit are exceptional. Very easy install, no problems whatsoever. With TacoBill's Sequentials "how-to"... How can anyone go wrong! Even if you go with CDC, peruse TacoBill's how to link below... he's got some excellent tips on removing trunk panel, light assemblies, etc.

I just installed a kit from WebElectric Products. It took me 35 minutes which included taking the amp out. It was easy and they work perfectly.

So, which are better?? Webelectronics or CDC?? Is there any real difference between the two?? I'm going to get the sequential taillights but wondering if one is better than the other. CDC or Webelectronics

If the Amp you're ralking about is the Shaker 1000 subwoofer, no need to take it out. I did the Webelectric plug n play with it in place. It just took a few minutes longer to get off the 3 nuts that hold the right tail lamp in place.

I haven't seen it mentioned before, but the brake lights are also pretty sweet (with the CDC anyway). They sequence once. Cool stuff. 20 minute install max.

Yeah, anyone know what the difference between CDC and Webelectronics is?

I like the look of "chase" taillights better than the sequentials, but don't want to take the time to install then as it's not a pnp kit like CDC and Webelec.

I'm not sure if CDC offers this now or not but I know the webelectricproducts offers instructions (and includes extra wire) on how to stop the brake lights from sequencing while keeping sequenced directionals. You have to run two new wires from the fuse box (passenger kick panel) to the tail lights though. That was the whole reason I went with webeletronicproducts. It takes a little longer to install but I really didn't like that the brake lights sequenced.. even once. Now all three lights light up instantly with the brakes while still having sequencing blinkers.

I'm interested in seeing what the difference is between the two yet i can only find sequentials on any of my searches.

Sequential works like this:
light 1 on, light 2 on, light 3 on, all off, repeat

Chase works like this:
light 1 on, light 2 on, light 3 on, light 1 off, light 2 off, light 3 off, repeat

Edit: found some gifs (yay google!)

Sequential:


Chase:
