Default Tail light tricks-installed!

Put in the sequential tail lights and pulser third brake light and they came out great. Got them from webelectric.com. Lower cost than other distributers, and instant service. Well pleased and a real trip at night with the four-way flashers on! You can see action pics on their web site.

I'm had mine for about a year, now. Great mod. & get a lot of questions from other C5 owners, that their turn signal doesn't work like mine.

I've heard that they don't work right with LED taillights. I have halos, anyone know? I think they would look even better with Halo LEDs! that is if they are compatible. I have an LED flasher to solve hyperflash if that makes any difference...I should just e-mail them, their customer service rocks!

They ARE compatable with Halos. I installed the Halos and the sequential flasher on my mom's 98 vert. I had to use a resistor to stablize the load but it works.

awesome! can you give any more details about what you had to do with the resistor?

I saw one version of sequentials which also activated when you hit the brakes causing them to turn on sequentially...I'm not sure I would like that. what does this one do?

Using the Thundercats Flasher (from canada) I used this diagram:



The picture shows 2 resistors but you can use one. I don't remember the specific value of the resistors, however you can also splice in a small 194 bulb in place of it with not much difference plus the bulb will show you it's working by lighting up.

this also causes the brakelights to sequence out upon breaking. Pretty cool IMO.
