Burnt out light tail light after sequentials.
I just installed a set of Web Electric sequential tail light last week and I got pulled over last night for a burn't out tail light. I remember seeing a thread a couple weeks ago where someone recommended a certain kind of bulb to run when using sequentials but I can't seem to find it at the moment.
Should I just replace the burn't out bulb, or all 6 of them? I really don't want to have the new one be brighter or anything like that.

RE: Burnt out light tail light after sequentials.
I just had a tailight bulb burn out and could not find a replacement bulb it uses a 4057 I went to trakauto, pep boys, kragen and autozone nobody carries a 4057 the manager of Autozone actually came outside with me and tried a 4114 bulb and it worked fine I just replaced it yesterday I hope that it works ok. I would like to find out what bulbs to usewith my CDC sequential lights.

FWIW, I installed Web Electric sequentials on my 07 GT back in September and haven't had any bulbs burn out.

I couldnt seem to find the 4057 bulbs anywhere either. But, somehow the burnt out tailight cured itself and started working again and havent had a problem since
I thinks it would be best just to bang'em all out and avoid crap like that happening again. Cops are out there looking too hard I guess[:'(]

I have had sequentials for two years with original bulbs. That is a bunch of BS you need different bulbs. You probably knocked the filament when swapping the bulbs.

They were working for almost a week. The cop said that I was speeding, which I know for a fact I was only doing 40 and it's a 50mph zone (lots of pot holes). He gave me a fix it ticket, and said he was letting me go for the speeding.

Doesnt' make sense because if I were a cop i'd get you for the speed and let you off on the fix-it ticket.
