WOW>............i went to the garage tonight, and switched out the harnesses to the sequential tail lights .

It was so easy.............I am bad with tools and stuff, but a socket wrench and a small screw driver, and i was on a roll.

Very easy, and they look GREAT!!!!

I cant wait to use my blinker now....

Now I can return my old harnesses and get $40 back !! B)

Everyone should consider these.............they are very cool. And trust me, if i can do it . ANYONE CAN!!

Here is a link to another thread that goes into more detail about the installation. Two suppliers are Web Electronics and CDC.

I will definitely be doing this to my car when I get it.

Well worth the $, if you ask me. They are different, they make the car stand out from the rest, and it was easy to install.

I like em, I have them installed on my GT. the only thing I'm not liking is the fastness of the blink rate. I just wish there was a way to slow it down a little. Oh and PONY girl, when you hit your brakes both lights sequence from inner to outwards. Once the outermost light is lit they stay on as normal. Another feature I thought was freakin cool !

Uhh, for $179, I dont see it worth it..
Were talking about 20.00 MAX in parts from radio shack..
This is worse then the speed chip scam on ebay thats really a 30.00 resistor....

$159 if you send the harness back.

I agree, gotta be a cheaper way to do this. Maybe someone will come up with a DIY write-up.

You are right, with the right knowledge and a few tools someone could do this cheaper. But sometimes you spend the money to make your life easier.

I got mine and I am all set to install them! Now where the heck is my car...............

Sure you can do it cheaper with cheaper parts but I want this mod to last for years, not 1 season.

Do some searches on the forum guys. Tons of info out there regarding if they are legal, blinking rates etc..

In Canada the "burst brakes" are illegal and that is why I made it so mine work normally. Instructions posted on another thread.

Bob, the picture posted in this thread is not accurate. They do not flash as fast as the ones in that gif.

Mine does flash that fast, I wish they were a bit slower, but still very cool.

Not illegal as far as I know in Missouri. I saw an 04 with them just the other day.

these are one of the best exterior mods in my small opinion. I was stopped in front of a big semi that had a chrome grill, and I got to watch my signals sequence, all of the sudden he laid on his horn! I was too busy watching my signals that I forgot to turn!! They are so awesome!
Congrats on the install Ponygirl- he refunds the money very quick!!

THanks, I LOVE THEM TOO.worth every penny!!!!!!

As soon as I get my 05, I will supply information on how to make this yourself..
I would even make them and send them.....
Just start with a old christmas light harness, and its all downhill from there.
