Default What are the best value sequential tails?

I'm looking to do these as my next mod. I love the look, and despite the occasional story of someone being pulled over because of them, they're something I've wanted to do for a long time. So I'm wondering...

What are the best value sequential taillights on the market? I'd like something that is first and foremost a good quality product, but also something that doesn't take a brain surgeon to install. I'm okay when it comes to doing some things on my car... I've changed the dead taillight bulbs a couple times before, so I know how to get in there. I just don't want it to involve much cutting and re-wiring. I like the plug-and-play idea, but again, I just want to be sure I can get a good quality product that's going to last. I've seen some online for as low as $79.99 (which does involve slicing and dicing) to more seemingly simple sets for about $150. To those that have some of these... what would be your recommendation?

Thanks!

Victoria

meter4it.com

They're about $150 and do involve some mild cutting and splicing, but the instructions are very well written and it's not hard to do at all. A nice afternoon project.

That way you get the option of both chase mode and normal sequential mode, and can easily change between them, which no other sequential kit offers.

These things get a ton of attention, they're an excellent appearance mod.

For some reason, I don't really like the chase mode... Too much going on...

To the op.. I'd go with the CDC $150 kit.

By far this is your best deal IMO

http://www.webelectricproducts.com/sts/stspage.htm

with the rebate, you get plug and play capabilities, 20 minute install, and you send your old harness back for 30 refund.......120 i think total cost!

After seeing someone on here recommend them I went with the ones from, http://www.webelectricproducts.com/

Install wasvery easy, they seem to be high quality.
And I don't know if others have the same thing, but they adjust sequential speed to match flasher speed.

And they are the same $150.00 as most major retailers sell them for, except with free shipping,(even toAlaska)plus you can mail in the old harnesses for a $30.00 rebate.

Thanks, guys.

I'm definitely leaning towards the Web Electric Products sequentials right now. Seems like it's a good quality productplus apretty straightforward install. And then sending in the old harnesses for $30 back? Seems like a pretty good deal.

I don't think I'd be much into changing the settings to chase flashing... seems something better suited to Christmas lights. Although I suppose being able to go back to the regular stock flashing wouldn't be a bad option to have.


Local Yokel... yeah, that's me. I'd much rather have the challenge of doing it myself, but thanks anyway!

That's what I have and it is a no brainer and very easy install. Took like 15 minutes start to finish. True plug and play!!!!!!! Great company and very reliable, fast, and friendly service. They are not illegal in every state I can think of! They used this in the 60's Sequentials are nothing new but you will love the retro look!!!!!!!!! J

Got mine from American Muscle... I didnt want to have to send mine stock ones back in in case I sell my car I can always switch back... I prefer to keep things instead of getting rid of them...
