Default Got some tail :)

Got these new LED tail lights for $50 off another forum, I plugged em up today to make sure everything checked out OK before I get them smoked! Let me know what you think... the changes are very subtle but I dig it.





More pics tomorrow it was dark when I finished!

Im sure if you cant use sequentials now that someone will come out with a kit to do it. I think they look pretty good.

Fifty bucks is a steal. Couldn't give up my sequentials either.

I'm really not sure, don't see why you couldn't as they plug in where your stock bulbs did. Guess I'll be the guinea pig since I'm going to pick some sequentials up.

Like I said don't see any reason in the world why they wouldn't work.

Maybe I'll figure out why then, and make some $$ off of it either way I dig this look, going to look great after I smoke them, and I don't have sequentials so it's no skin of my back

Link to who tried them??

I looked into switching the bulbs to the LED clusters, but it was explainted to me that because the LED's don't draw as much power, the car thinks that a bulb is out and the directional will flash double time.

I dont see why sequentials wont work unless its the same reason that leds have problems with old flashers not enough load for them.

If I found someone that could program the draw in the sequentials it would be no problem. That's strange though if the sequentials think that, I wonder why the computer doesn't? I already tested the blinkers and they were normal.
