C5 Sequential Signals How Common?
As I recall from last years's rallies there are lots of C5 tail light mods done out there. Flush mounts, black outs, overlaid grills, etc., but I don't recall ever seeing the sequential tail light signals ever in person.
Are these as infrequent as I am thinking? I did order some last week.

Pull your flame suit uptight. This has been beat pretty hard lately. 
I have them and really like them. Also installed 3rd brake light flasher. Really backs off the tail gators

as far as I know, I have the only set of flush mounted euro lites around Chattanooga...also the only 3rd light flasher.

I liked the sequential look so much on my Camaro, I bought six pricy LED brakelight "bulbs" from LEDtronics to enhance the snappiness of the effect. IMHO, the sequentials look great if you have three lights under the same light cover, it gives a nice rolling motion. I've seen the lights on LT1 Impalas, 4th Gen F-bodies, and Mustangs, and it looks nice.
However, on a C5, it looks weird. To me. YMMV.

were the sequentials plug-and-play just like stock lenses or did you have to do anything different to get them to work?

i did have to turn the left (drivers side) sequential module around...(upside down) so that the sealed end was facing up and the open end was facing down...for water and moisture issues...this was done per Larry, the manufact. of the sequential units.
also, the sequential sockets are exactly like the stock sockets...one of the turn signal (euros) tabs and indents were slightly offset...very slightly..had to push in and turn in a bit to lock and seat them...the entire install of the sequetials was 10 minutes..it took longer to open the box and read the instruction..hehehe
PM me your email...i'll go out and make a smaller vid and email it to you..
i personally luv the look...
peace..
got it down to 1.3mgs..
I FORGOT TO ADD...IT ADDED 15 PONIES...
