I emailed them last night wondering when the Sequential Turn Signals would be available. This is the response:

Derynf,

Thanks for writing.

I'm working on it now and should have an answer in a couple weeks. Would
you like me to let you know?

I also got that response. And just a few minutes ago got this...

It's going to take longer than a week. The 05 electrical system is quite
different from the previous models.

I'll keep you posted.

That system isn't working right. They only sequence when the directional light is on. With the brake lights applied they should look like standard lights.
That pic is with the hazards on. The work with the brake light too if you want that

That picture is with the hazards on because the high brake light is not flashing on and off.

My 98 CDC the brakes come on like that but then stay on along with the high brake light which reads COBRA

That is the same as the 68 Cougar that started it all.

They said they had them available.

You are correct if you are refering to a FACTORY sequential system ... I.E. '67-73 Cougar or mid-60's to early-70's T-Bird ... brakes and hazards do not sequence.

But these retro-fit kits by CDC and others sequence (once) when the brakes are applied and sequence per the picture (but w/o center brake lamp) when the hazards are on.

To make them sequence like the old cars, the whole wiring harness from the turn signal switch to the taillights must be slightly revised. To make it simpler and cheaper, CDC just installs a sequencing module in each taillight assy. wiring harness (exchange for your existing un-modified ones) and provide a flasher module that has also been modified to flash slower (also exchange ... the stock flasher is too fast for the time it takes to sequence the 3 bulbs).

Not sure how the '68 Shelby worked, but with it's "dynamite sticks" it may have worked like the CDC kit. I am pretty sure '69-70 Shelby just borrowed the Cougar harness.

Many of the other guys offering the substantially cheaper kits just give you all the stuff you need to modify your own taillight harnesses.

My 1st experience with Sequential Taillights was retrofitting a '69 Cougar system on a '79 Fairmont Futura (I had to use all the '69 taillight wiring from switch to taillights). My 2nd experience was a CDC kit I bought for my '98 Mustang which is now on my current '04.

That is what their kit does unless you buy another add-on so your brakes work normal. They call that "explosion braking". I don't like it. I want sequential signals and the brakes to work properly.

It is a real pic, not photoshopped. The brakes are on. Go to http://www.sequentialtaillights.com/ for more information.

actually...NO it is not a real pic.

Think about it.. if anything it would have to be a vid in order to show motion, or 3 different pics put into an animated gif.

CDC mustang: yep, I actually saw them working (sequential taillights) , but the rep didn't comment on where they got them or, if they made 'em themselves. They also put turn indicators under the hood scoop near the windshield - why, I have no idea (their idea of a HUD-type purpose?) :scratch:
they had that on the scoops of the '68s !

*My uncle has one*

Explosion or whatever ... it definitely makes people notice your intension of braking. I was a little dissapointed when I first put them on my '98 as I also assumed that they would work "properly" ... like the earlier Fords.

But I feel that that "explosion" effect has possibly helped me in not getting rear ended. Five times a week I turn left into an industrial park from a busy 4-lane road (2 per side with no median and no left turn lane or traffic light). Back when I had my '94 Mustang, there were a few times where I almost got rear ended at this intersection. I always watch my rear-view mirror ... and I have had a major reduction in close calls after I put the sequentials on my '98.

Hey! Just got this email this morning--

Guys,

I'm sending you this message because you had asked me to inform you when I
have Sequential Turn Signals ready for the 2005 Mustang. Well, I have the
design checked out, and I have parts on order. I expect that I will be
ready to ship by 12/10/04.

The 2005 wiring is more complex than the previous model years. Because of
that, I will only be offering Pre-wired Harnesses at this time. What you do
is pull the old harnesses out, swap the bulbs, and put the new harnesses in.
That's it.

To keep the cost to you low, I'm offering a $40 rebate if you send me your
old harnesses. This is optional, and you might consider keeping your
harnesses in case something should go wrong. I'm not anticipating any
issues, but if you need to take your car back for any turn signal/tail light
work, they might give you some resistance if they see a modified harness
installed on the car.

You can get on the list by going to the web site and ordering now. Again,
they won't go out until 12/10, but I will ship in the order that I receive
them. Go ahead and tell your friends/associates, but of course, only after
you get on the list!

Let me know if you have any questions.

-L

$179, I was guessing to be $120's-$140"s. $40 rebate with exchange of original harness. Maybe I was dreaming. They also only sell the whole harness. Anyone have experience with this swap?
