Default Sequential Tail light Kits... Any differences?

I didn't realise that there were multiple manufacturers of this item now, I thought only CDC made Sequential Tail light Kits... Any differences between these? They look very similar, are they the same?

there is a bunch of people, webelectrics, cdc, mustangtaillightsequencers.... I got mine here http://www.mustangtaillightsequencers.com/ and I can't complain. Got the splice in kit because it is super affordable, and no different than the others.... http://www.meter4it.com/2005_to_2009_mustang.htm <--- This place makes a "chaser" kit which is slightly different than a sequential setup.... Hope this helps you out

There are some minor differences. Some claim to be made from OEM harnesses or have chrome plated sockets. The only real difference is that splice-in kits are cheaper. As mentioned above there is a "chaser" kit by one company where the lights will sequence faster/smoother but I believe it is only available as a splice in.

Nickel Plated

The 'splice in' kits are notorious for compromizing the
watertightness integrity of the taillight housings.
Not my cup O tea.
The plug-n-play CDC Dynamite Sticks are the best around.
I just went thru a sheitload of trouble with the web electric
sequentials I got for my 09 Challenger. I had to modify them
to get them to work correctly.
Had to send them back for reprogramming and then get
replacement output transistors as well....
But they will work with you until hell freezes over......

I have the meter4it kit. Yea, it's a bit of a job to splice it in, but not terrible. I truly think the chase pattern looks a lot better. Another plus with this kit is that by a simple external plug change, you can change from Factory type pattern, std. sequential pattern or the chase pattern. They also have great customer service.

The Chaser kit seems to blink at the same rate per light as the stock lights. The sequentials are a little slower than stock between flashes of each bulb.

Yet the individual lights don't stay on until all 3 have been lit.
Wondering if there's a safety advantage to the chase lights.
