familiar with Drake Sequential Tail Lights?
I got a 07 Mustang in early July, 2011 and in late July I installed Web Electric Sequential Tail Lights. They are fine but would like for a slower, more pronounced blink, like the old Cougar's of 68. The website had said you could purchase a heavy duty flasher to possibly slow them down, however the 07 has the Smart Junction Box, thus no separate flasher.
When looking for something else last night, I stumbled across DrakeMuscleCars.com.
They appear to have something much closer to what I want but not thrilled will another $150. or so. I was wondering if any of you have any experience with the Drake sequentials and if they are much slower than most of the rest on the market. I looked but did not find a suitable video to show them to me in action.

Id like to know what 5 settings they have. With the SJB controlling the blinker rate, I dont see the speed changing. There are some other threads about changing the speed but no one has figured it out.
ETNOATS,
The installation instructions show the little controller with 3 tiny rocker-like switches. They show this on, this off, this off-you get this. Be advised some sites picture of the product shows a circuit board, let's say approx 1" x 2". Drake's site seems to show a newer version, taped or ht shrinked to just the rocker switches. As I understand it, the seq starts everytime it receives a signal from the flasher, or in our case the SJB. If you had something that say blocked every other flash signal to the tail lights, you should have a slower blink.

odieser,
Late one night, I happened across a website that showed the instructions. I don't remember if it was Drake's site or some reseller. I saw this diagram of the rocker switches settings. Maybe I'm still asleep. Other than the setting to slow it down, I get confused on most of the others. I don't know how you have yours set, but can you tell me I believe there are two settings for slower flash rate. That said, I wasn't sure after you slowed down the turn signal, do the flashers and brake lights work like normal. I'm not sure but I think in my neck of the woods, some chaser type flash will get me stopped by the police and I don't want sequential brake lights because I have enough trouble with the guy behind me eating and talking on his cell phone.

I am on the "G" setting.. they chase from inboard to outboard 1 to 3 then flah back to middle 2 once and then start over again. o me it was the most attention getting is what I want so the guy on his cell would notice...
The setting "B" is a relatively slow sequence from middle to outboard 1 To 3
seems to me to be twice as slow as standard sequence "A"
As far as braking the sequence you have set will run its course only one time then remain solid all three lights..
Hope this makes sense.

I don't know what will ship but some websites have the older model of Drake's seq tail lights, see little circuit board. Drake's site has the newer version, smaller board and all wrapped up with only rockers showing.
Well here you go I did 6 videos showing settings A,B,C,D,E and G the other two are duplicates.
I am not sure how to load these on the site so Here is my Photo bucket URL to the videos.

They are listed in the reverse in my album but they are titled when you highlight.
Hope this helps.
