Default sequential tail lights

are the sequential tail light kits all about the same?

i see them at silver horse racing 149$ 10 for shipping
http://www.silverhorseracing.com/web...ategory_id=255

looks like they have them at american muscle 149$ free shipping
http://www.americanmuscle.com/cdc-dynamite-sticks.html

meter4it has them although this kit looks like its more complicated? maybe im wrong??
http://www.meter4it.com/2006_and_2007_Mustang.htm


web electrics plug and play 149 or eom ones 169
http://www.webelectricproducts.com/


are they all about the same? im looking for the quickest, cleanest, easiest ones to install..

and id probably keep the existing harness in case i wanted to go back to stock for some odd reason...


anyplace better or worse than the other? or are they all the exact same?



id probably go to american muscle since they are free shipping unless SHR were better? any suggestions one way or another?


thanks

I know TacoBill has an outstanding how-to in his section based on the Webelectric ones ... looks fairly simple.

I have the meter4it lights and love them. The install really isnt that hard to do. It does involve using vampire splices into the factory harness but it isnt that hard to do. I love mine because they are different from the plug and playsequentials. I have mine set to chase mode so they light one from the inside to the outside and then they go out starting with the inside and sequential going out too. Regular sequentials all go out at once. Just my opinion though.

I received and installed the WebElectric sequentials yesterday. It was an unbelievably easy andclean install. It took at most 30 minutes to do both sides, probably less but I didn't look at the clock. Actually, the hardest part was trying to remove the retaining clip/pin/black thing holding the trunk liner to the side quarter panels--never did get them out, ended up pushing the liner out of my way.

If it weren't for the numbered stickers on the back of the new sockets and the Ford part labels on the old harness, I may have had trouble telling the two apart. The electronics are wrapped inside the tape with the wires. It looks so OEM it's remarkable.

A box was included to return the old harness for a $30 credit so don't go cutting the tape when removing the new harnesses (like I did). Drop the old harnesses in, seal the box and pay the postage. No paperwork to complete or enclose as WebElectric will get your name and address, this is so elegant, from the return address!

I put this mod off about 4 months, I shouldn't have. It is the easiest mod I have done and it looks great.

The instructions are very simple to follow. I reused the black putty stuff, TacoBill used plumbers putty. A rubber washer or a washer made from gasket material should also work.

Webelectric is the quickest and easiest to install! It is plug and play and I love the look! Get it you will not be disappointed. Took 10 min to install start to finish!

I would aviod using the scotchlock connectors the Meter4It kit includes.
If you go the Meter4It kit route, solder and heatshrink those connections.

I got the CDC Dynamite sticks from MossMustang.
$149.
http://www.mossmustang.com/Shop/View...eIndexID=48656
True plug n play. 20 minute install time. I would recommend replacing
ALL the bulbs with Sylvania LongLife bulbs so you wont have to remove
the taillight assembly for bulb replacement for a long time.

I have the WebElectric sequentials in my 99and the 05 Mustangs. WebElectrics had fast shipping and did a great job with following up on questions.I found that it took more time to remove and reinstall the Shaker 1000 speaker box then it did to install the sequentials.
