Default tail lights

Hello all!
I'm new here and a new 05' pony owner. I don't have the patience to read through the posts for info. So here is the question.
How difficult are the sequential tail lights to install?

i havent done it but most people say not too bad.

one type you have to do some wire splicing and other you switch out the harness.

in either case you have to feel comfortable removing taillight assy to get to it. I understand the instructions are pretty good.

Husband just finished installing the MRT sequential do it yourself kit and he says they are very easy to install and they came with great instructions. You only need a half hour in warm weather but in the cold it took him an hour. They are also very cool. They will look better on your own Mustang than on any other one that you've seen.

I have a question about the MRT sequential kit. When you press the brakes, do the lights come on sequentially or do they work like stock?

They will sequentially light when you put on the brakes and stay solid on as long as you hold the pedal. The only time that they continually flash is with the turn signals or 4-way flashers.[sm=massbounce.gif]

Next question.
Where do you purchase the tail light kit?
Sorry if it's a dumb question, but, curious minds need to know.
thanks,

Peggy

You can buy it direct from MRT or if you're going to be in Michigan, you can stop at their store. http://www.mrt-direct.com/

I have 2 video files I can E-mail of the lights at night. They total 6 meg though, so you will need a large inbox to get them.
