Sequential Taillight Question

RE: Sequential Taillight Question
Wow, I looked at the meter4it kit picture, holy crap too many bits & pieces for me to try and figure out. Not that patient nor doI have the electronic capabilities. Thanks anyways! Little worried about my splicing into the wires, I think its a fear of shorting out the whole car type of thing []

I know next to nothing about car electrical systems, so I got my pops (bit of a car guy) to help me out with the kit and once we got rolling with it everything went really fast. Probably took about an hour and a half to two hours, including a beer break.
I don't work for meter4it or anything, so I don't actually care if you go that route or not, but I think that chase mode (and the option to switch between the different modes) is totally worth the little bit of wiring work. You can see the installation instructions (which you get a copy of with the kit, of course) at: http://www.meter4it.com/Instal_Doc.htm (the 05+ instructions are down the page a bit)
Anyway, good luck with whatever your decision is. I'm pretty sure any sequential kit will get you a lot of attention while you're out cruising around, which is always fun.

I got mine from MRT Direct. http://www.mrt-direct.com/They are the plug and play type. They are very easy to install, and have worked great in the year time since I installed them.

Well, I just got done tearing my trunk apart to see what I was getting myself into. Seems to be a quick and painless process behind that liner, so have gone with the gtconcept package. I'll post onces I get it all done. Thanks again everyone!

RE: Sequential Taillight Question
Got mine from americanmuscle.com, reasonably easy and fast install (just unscrew a few things, unplug the harness, swap the bulbs into the new harness, plug it back in, and screw everything back in). I did not want to deal with any splicing, and didn't need to switch between different modes, so it worked for me. Have had them in for about 3 months, no issues thus far. The only thing I'd do different is replace all the bulbs with heavy-duty ones, while I had the harness out of the car, just to have that done...

CDC Dynamite Sticks. FTW.
The $75 core refund sold me on them.
The electronic design used was far superior
than the webelectrics dinosaur design from
years past. The CDCs have sine wave soft start
that is nicer to the bulbs. WebElectrics snap the
bulb on with a square wave that shortens
bulb life. Use Slvania LongLife bulbs and replace
them all so taillight removal for bulb replacement
can be kept to a minimal amount.

Way too many Scotchlock InsulationDisplacement
Connectors, that fail over time, for me. But solder
and two stageheatshrink like Ford OEM and the
meter4it chase kit is nice.
