They sequence once when you brake.

I'm surprised that they sequence on braking. I thought that was not legal, that brake lights had to immediately light up... Do the stock lights on the newer models sequence too? I have never specifically looked for that...

I'm glad the lights are really growing on you Stkjock! I wanted to see a set on your GT500 because the white/blue paint scheme was hard to picture mentally. Just as I hoped, it gives a sinister look to your GT500's rear end. Which is very important IMO- With an 800+ rwhp GT500, most cars only get to see your tail lights anyways. Why would it matter what the front looks like...

Thanks again for the review and spreading the word!

Good to know they sequence once and then stay solid when you brake... Just like the sequential harness.

I asked the following question in another thread in this sub-forum but have not gotten any definitive answer so I'll ask it in this thread.

"Question for pre-release testers: If a diode or two or three burns out is there a way to replace the faulty LED strip or is the unit sealed and you'll have to buy a whole unit to replace a faulty LED? Thanx "
