There is a sequential LED set but costs too much money.

You figure out the $50 retro-fit Eagle and I'll jump on the LED bandwagon!

I know on the street rods they make something so they leds tail lights work not sure if its a lighter flasher or what. I know when i built my sequentials for my 67 I used leds to test out the circuit but i used a 714 IC timmer circuit to trigger scrs to turn on the lights not sure how the new sequentials work

No idea what that means but it sounds cool you made your own you say? I was thinking about researching this more since I've seen people do it. Any tips/tricks? I was going to get some stock wiring harnesses and trying it out.

Thats what I have read when Boostaddict started selling the LED's for the GT500 and then the GT's....the GT's were reading them as burnt out and there was not enough current draw.... PM boostaddict he can help with a fix....surprised it was not posted?


Eagle- car looks good esp after tint and figuring out the sequential thing

That's what I thought, I like the subtle differences. And I took the car out tonight, they look amazing!

Thanks for the lead man. And I'm only smoking them, going to be light enough just to get rid of the red. I'm playing with a few ideas, when I get some photoshops I'll throw up the pictures to see what ya'll think.

Thanks man! I'm not a fan either usually, but I'm really impressed with these. And if you look at the picture these sit more flush in the gaps than the stock ones did.
