I recently sold my vette, I'll buy a new on this spring, sequential turn signals will be one of the first things to do. It takes less than an hour
"Increase invisibility" ?????

I just ordered the STS-2 at $49.00 delivered. The one they list for the C-5 is twice as much. Another example of the Corvette tax.

OK Mqqn.... point made....

1. remove tail light lens housing
2. remove light socket from housing
3. remove bulb
4. plug web electric unit into socket
5. plug old bulb into the new web electric socket
6. put new socket into housing
7. screw lens housing back into Corvette

A 2 minute job per side.
It takes longer to read the instructions that to do the install....

No web tutorial download needed.

As I said Mqqn........

Just as a sidenote...

You want to make sure they are COVERED in the Di-Electric Grease. I had them on my 99, and swapped them over to my Y2K... even at that, some of the little wires had gotten water on them and corrosion was everywhere in the plug harness.

You may not have that problem as much on the NON Plug-and-Play, as they crimp on...

Just an observation after having them on for a year on one car. The weather (rain, water from washing - you name it), get back up all over that wiring harness and I was surprised at the discovery.

Many Many positive comments on them....

just curious - those that have them.... do you find yourself 'counting' seconds when in traffic to say 10-15 seconds so you can try to make sure the pulser flashes again behind you?

I liked the sequential tail lights on the old Cougars (three lights on each side) but on the Vette they should call them alternating, not sequential. I do think the third brake light flasher is a great safety mod. Just my 2 cents...

Hi rws.1 -

No sweat - it was an easy install -

You did fail to mention to make sure that you plug in the connector with both ground connections mating - otherwise you just fried a perfectly good sequencer circuit....

I agree 100% - you don't need a tutorial. I just did it for fun.

You don't need a mint afterwards either, but they included one in the kit.



best regards -

mqqn

i've got a set of used webelectric turn signals lying around.

i enjoyed them but i dont need them anymore since i got my LED tail lights.

they do work with the LEDs but the LEDs flash too quickly to appreciate the sequential effect.

if anyone's interested shoot me a PM. 1/2 price of new, pics, shipped.

I emailed the company and in about 45 minutes had an answer from customer service. I was told they will work with the Euro's as the bulb part number is the same.

Hi WWK888 -

Thanks buddy!

diyguy -

Yes - I filled the cups up with the grease - you can see it in the tutorial - they should look like they have "cunjunctivitis" (had to see Shallow Hal to understand that...)


best regards -

Bought both the sequential and the pulse mods from Webelectric. Easy to install, great instuctions, just plug & play. What I really like about them is the first time you use your brakes in front of another car, watch them back off and stay back! I think this is a great safety feature.
