Finally got the kit after wanting it for quite a while. Never felt like spending the money on it so I finally put it on my birthday list and viola, I got it. Got to getting it installed this weekend after having it for awhile now. Was pretty much a breeze minus having to take the tail lights out, which aren't hard, but you just can't seem to do it without drawing at least a little blood.

On with the video since pics here are no good.

I like the lights, the bumper stickers not so much. To each his own. How much for the kit?

I went a bit overboard with the stickers for autocross, but she needs paint so I figured if I was going to have fun with vinyl, now is the time. The kit is $60.

When I saw the post I thought "there are only two lights how good can that be" but I like them. I'll give that idea a thumbs up

i built mine using a couple of 90's Gm 'fuse box' relays and abt $5 worth of raddyshack bits...just an 'ol time' resistor/capacitor circ to generate an 'on-delay' for the outer bulb...on my 86,lead/lag of the flash requires the inner/outer bulbs to swap seats, no chopping as the oem wires are long enuf.

for my eye, the oem warp-out flash cycle ~ 120 flash/min was too fast for good sequential effect...i used an 'electro-mechanical' flasher from napa for $12 that also comes with ~120 beats but internal resistor change slowed that to ~60 beats

i consider this mod a major 'safety add' as it may get attention from the driver (?) tailing me.

Nice. I figured it would be easy, but I'm not good with electrical stuff. Doesn't help being color blind...so I have to buy my stuff prebuilt (and flat can't do some stuff myself). Hopefully this will help some others save a few bucks though. Thanks for sharing!
