Sequential tailights...your opinions please!
I like the look of Sequential tailights, and am considering buying the WebElectrics kit. If you have them on your C5, how do you like them? Thanks in advance for any input!

I think sequential tail lights are cool, however not sure if it works on a
C5 Corvette. I have never seen one, however I have seen the ads.
The new '10 Mustang has sequential lights and I really think you need a minumum of 3 lights on each side for the effect to work. When I was a kid in the 70s we had a Mercury Cougar that had the sequential lights. I think there were about five lights on each side so it was pretty neat (for the time).
Good luck. Post pics if you do the mod.

Have had them for a while. Work fine and look neat. It would be better with 3 or more lights but still an interesting effect. Any extra "alert" to "Mrs. Minivan" behind me is worth the effort. There are times they go into hyperflash but I don't run LEDs.

I've had the webelectric ones for several years now - they went on just after I got rear ended, along with the 3rd brake light flasher kit. 
Easy to install and I get a lot of positive comments on them frrom folks that follow me.

If it's a "plug and play" type set up I think they look good.
I wouldn't hack/splice to install one..
So that's my answer, it's good as long as it's reversable.... like euro lights.

I have them. Don't get to see them much since I'm driving. I agree 3 lights would be better. Also your brake lights sorta sequence too. Inners light first followed by the outters. Nice effect. Bought em at auction for $95. Plug and play. Reversible. I also run a blink smart 3rd brake flasher. That wasn't plug and play but a whole lot cheaper, had to cut one wire. Easy to repair if I want to go back original. That was done for piece of mine after almost getting rear ended several times driving around Orlando.
All LED's with a bypass harness to prevent hyper flash. Since the install I haven't been freaked out by any a holes running up my tail pipes.

I installed them several months ago. Its a very easy install and just for your information all the kits are the same, there is only one manufacturer for this mod.

I have had mine for a few years (got them from a website that I can't remember, but I know they don't sell it for 4 lights anymore). Required some splicing, but only cost $40. I love 'em!

Unfortionatly the circuitry used doesn't allow this mainly because of the flash rate of the OEM flasher. I attempted to slow down this rate but was unable to get any significant difference.

I've had them along with the 3rd brake light pulser from Webelectric for a few years now, both were plug and play. Using them with the Halo LED tail lights. Did have one side's sequential switch go out and Webelectric replaced it free of charge...lifetime warranty is a good thing! Get a lot of positive comments on them also.

Sounds like just a little more electronics tweaking on the control circuit to me... I used to work on all sorts of electronics, but its been quite a while. Maybe there is another tinkerer that can work this out!
