Default Sequential brake lights??

I was following a C5 his morning and noticed that when she braked, the third light came on followed by the right, then the left. Very quick succession but noticable.

I wouldn't think it would look that good with just 4 taillights!

I wonder if she was just pumping her brake pedal...
...the middle brake light would actuate even while the others are going off and on... some delay exists in that case...

The sequential lights are cool...I just dont get to enjoy them as much as cars behind me

What you saw was the result of putting in the sequential tail lights. Its a slight time delay from one bulb to the other.

I have sequential lights on my Camaro, and IMHO, they look great on Mustangs and Impalas (previous generation). The three lights per side grouped in one housing gives a nice rolling animation. However, I can't profess to liking the looks of the sequentials on C5s. I've seen a couple on C5s in person, and it just hasn't grown on me.

Bought mine about a year ago. They work very well. Neet too... just be carefull to install with the sequencer opening on the bottom or they fill up with water and don't work.
